SELF CONTROL FIRST & LAST NAME:____________________________________
Self control means “I stop and think before I act!” When we use self control, we don’t do the first thing that pops into our heads. Instead, we slow down and think, is this behavior OK? Is it safe? Is it fair? When a behavior is a bad choice, think of the red light on a traffic light. Stop! When a behavior is a good choice, think of the green light on a traffic light. Go! Below, circle the red light if the person is NOT showing self control. Circle the green light if the person IS showing self control. Then draw yourself showing self control!
Kate wanted to ask her Dad to put batteries in her favorite toy. He was working. She ran into his office and said, “fix this now please!” Circle the red light if she did not use self control. Circle the green light if she did use self control.
Elia’s mother asked that she sit and play quietly while Rudy, her brother, took a nap. She wanted to run around but drew at the table instead. Circle the red light if Elia did not use self control. Circle the green light if Elia did use self control. Draw a picture of YOU showing self control.
