We will help our dragons to soar with a focus on Self-Control! Think of it like having a remote control for your own brain. You're the one holding the buttons.
How it works in real life:
The "Wait" Button: Waiting for your turn to speak instead of blurting out an answer.
The "Stop" Button: Keeping your hands to yourself even if you are feeling frustrated.
The "Slow Down" Button: Finishing your homework before you turn on the video games.
The "Remote Control" Trick
When you feel a "big" feeling (like being really angry or super excited), imagine you are hitting the Pause Button on your remote. While you’re paused, ask yourself:
- "Is what I’m about to do a good choice?"
- "How will I feel after I do it?"
Fun Fact: Self-control is like a muscle. The more you use it to make good choices, the stronger and easier it gets!
