Self Control Bundle

Self-control is a learned skill. This bundle teaches self-control as a response to several different triggers. Responding when they are told "no," staying calm when angry, using words to communicate instead of other actions, identifying and using appropriate words, and of course having overall self-control are all skills that are taught in this bundle. Each story unit in this bundle has simple strategies to teach each of these skills.
