Self-Control

August · Word of the Month

This month we are learning about SELF-CONTROL! Self-control means stopping, breathing, and making a good choice, even when we feel upset. It's a skill your child practices every time they wait for their turn in class.

🛑 What is self-control?

Self-control is stopping to think before we act — especially when we feel big feelings like anger or frustration. Taking a deep breath is one of the best tools for practicing self-control.

📖 Examples of self-control for this age

  • ●Taking a deep breath when frustrated
  • ●Waiting your turn patiently
  • ●Using words instead of yelling
  • ●Stopping to think before grabbing something

💬 Try asking your child

  • ●What can you do when you feel upset?
  • ●Who helps you calm down?
  • ●What does taking a deep breath feel like?

💡 Try This At Home

Practice "stop and breathe" together during calm moments, not just meltdowns — that way the tool is already familiar when big feelings show up for real.

"Stop, breathe, and choose kind!" Practice one big deep breath together right now.
