Due to a growing interest in the role of self-regulation in children's mental health, there has been a dramatic increase in research on child effortful control, a temperamental basis of self-regulation. The aims of this article were to review recent developments in the study of child effortful control and to suggest directions for future research. First the construct of effortful control was defined within the framework of Rothbart's temperament theory. Early development and commonly used measures of effortful control were also described. Further, recent studies on the relations between child effortful control and psychological adjustment, and the effects of parenting on the development of effortful control were reviewed. Finally, future directions for the study of child effortful control were suggested.
