Studies have shown that infants first learn to regulate their emotions through external soothing by caregivers. Then, as they develop, they begin to learn to regulate their own emotions by redirecting their attention from the source of stress or by using self-calming techniques. Finally, as language skills develop, children learn to use language to communicate their emotions and to regulate their own emotional state through self-talk. Therefore, the correct order of the developmental sequence of emotion regulation is soothing by others, redirecting one's own attention, and using language to communicate emotions.
