Child psychological maturity

In a more general way, good behaviour whether at home, in nursery school or elsewhere (being able to wait, take turns, share, cope with anxiety, tolerate disappointments without tantrums, etc.) depends on general ego maturation and the extent to which the child is able to master his feelings and impulses. But in this respect Anna Freud pointed out that no young child can be expected to maintain best behaviour for lengthy periods, because of normal regression.
