Self-control is restraint practiced over one's own emotions, impulses,
or desires. It is the ability to make positive choices, to think before
acting. Without self-control, students say and do things impulsively
which often leads to trouble. Children need to be taught to pause and
think of the consequences that may result from their various behaviors.
It is critical for educators to model self-discipline.
For example, if you feel yourself losing control of your
class, you
may want to take a deep breath and calmly say, "When you talk
out-of-turn, I feel frustrated because I can't hear what each one of you
has to say." By
controlling your own words and actions, you are demonstrating
to your
students a healthy way to react to stress.
