The main limitation of this study was that the researchers were not able to gain the full view of self-regulation due to the fact children tend to develop rapidly between the ages of 3 and 7.
[citation needed] In psychology, the term early childhood is usually defined as the time period from birth until the age of five or six years,[1] therefore covering infancy, Pre-K, kindergarten and first grade.
In this phase, there is significant synaptic growth and myelination of neural fibers in the brain, especially within the frontal lobes.
