Emotional regulation, also called self-control, refers to the inhibition/minimization of the intensity and/or duration of emotional reactions/displays. It is a key component of social competence that starts to develop during first year of infancy and tends to complete during adolescence.
Clearly, it is not part of the acceptance criteria for Harvard or, for that matter, most colleges and universities these days.
This generation spent their ' first year of infancy' strapped into a baby carrier at the daycare - untouched by human hands - while their mothers worked on their careers.
