Tongue-tie and self-regulation
Self-regulation refers to the ability to control and manage one's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in order to meet personal and social goals.
It involves being aware of one's own feelings and thoughts, and using strategies to manage them in appropriate ways.
There is some evidence to suggest that tongue-tie may be associated with difficulties in self-regulation.
For example, a study of children with tongue-tie found that they had significantly lower scores on measures of self-regulation compared to children without tongue-tie.
However, it is important to note that tongue-tie and self-regulation are two separate issues, and more research is needed to understand the nature of this relationship.
If you or a loved one is experiencing difficulties with self-regulation or has been diagnosed with tongue-tie, it is important to speak with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and treatment.
