Foundations of Early Learning: Self-Regulation and School Readiness in Contexts of Adversity
This research explores how children develop the skills and capabilities needed to thrive when they start school, and why these experiences differ across children growing up in different circumstances. Using longitudinal data and qualitative research, I investigate patterns of school readiness, the role of self-regulation, and how family and environmental factors shape early development. The aim is to better understand children’s diverse strengths and needs, and identify how early support can help every child get the best possible start.
