This dissertation presents three manuscripts on the development of children's self-regulation skills and its associations with children's relationships with teachers and peers during the elementary school years. The first manuscript examined the association between maternal sensitivity and children's social and relational competence and problems, and the extent to which self-regulatory abilities mediated the association. The second manuscript examined the bi-directional associations between self-regulation and relationship across the elementary school years. The third manuscript examined the development of children's self-regulatory skills and the role that conflictual relationships with teachers and peers affected development of those skills.
