Emotional Control Equals Physical Control?
Cogntive Daily has an excellent write up of a new study, You Can’t Always Get What You Want: Effortful Control and Children’s Responses to Undesirable Gifts [abstract]. In brief the study compared how well children could control their emotions when being polite about a present that they did not like with their control of their movement and balance.
“…children who weren’t able to slow their walk down, or wait for the experimenter’s signal on the pinball game, showed larger differences in their [control of] reactions to the best and worst [presents]…“.
This is one more piece of evidence that control of physical body, emotions and thought processes are linked. The better you can control one, the better you can control the others.
