Abstract
The ability to regulate behavior, cognitive processes, emotions, and social interactions, i. e. self-control, is one of the most critical aspects of human lives. When talking about self-regulation and self-control, the essential factor is the self and the restrictions and frameworks it imposes upon itself. This viewpoint guides our thoughts to an agency aspect of self-control abilities. Endorsing this sense of agency and freedom of choice is a crucial factor in enhancing and facilitating self-control abilities. In this article, we propose a multistage developmental scheme for acquiring self-control by focusing on its entwined relations with freedom of choice. The proposed developmental scheme composes of three seven-year stages, namely, Cognition, Obedience, and Contribution. The key idea is to allow the child to acquire self-control through a natural path by exercising his/her own free will.
