Self Control

Self Control: exercising authority over one’s emotions and actions

Self-Control is the ability to make a choice about how you behave instead of just acting on an impulse. You have self-control when you think about a situation and what might happen if you behave a certain way. If you show self-control, you make appropriate decisions and choose behaviors that will have good outcomes.

Self-control is very important for getting along with other people. It is thinking before acting.

You show self-control when you…….

• close a door quietly instead of slamming it
• wait patiently to talk instead of interrupting someone who is talking
• look both ways before crossing the street
• take turns with your friends
• follow your teacher’s instructions
• talk softly instead of shouting
• go to bed on time so you get a good night’s sleep
• sit quietly on the school bus so you stay safe
• start homework without being told
• come to dinner on time
• follow the school rules so you can learn
• you stop and think before you act when you feel angry about something

When visitors come to our school we always gets compliments on how well behaved you are. That means you show self-control and that makes me very proud of you! Let’s share techniques for how we work at learning self-control like…..

· If I start to feel angry I make a picture of a red light in my head and then I stop and think.

· I count silently 1, 2, 3 when I feel that I might lose my temper.

· I take a deep breath before I react to someone who yells at me.

What techniques do you use to show self-control? Sharing our techniques shows how we work as a team at J. H. House Elementary School! I can’t wait to hear from you!
