| Abstract | Children’s self-regulation and socio-economic status are important factors in predicting later academic outcomes and kindergarten readiness. This study examined relationships between socio-economic status (SES), gender differences, and performance on the Heads-Toes-Knees-Shoulders (HTKS) self-regulation assessment. Using a diverse sample of 408 preschool children, results indicated: Low-income children in Head Start displayed significantly lower self-regulation than children not enrolled in Head Start. The gender gap in self-regulation was significantly larger in Non-Head Start children when compared to Head Start children. |
