Why it matters:
It supports behavior like waiting, taking turns, and keeping hands to self.
What it looks like:
Blurting out, grabbing, pushing, or difficulty waiting.
How to support:
Teach simple cues like “stop and think,” model self-control, and practice waiting in small steps.
Try this today:
- Teach and practice a simple cue like “Stop, Think, Act” using a visual or hand signal.
- Build in short waiting moments during the day (e.g., waiting 10–30 seconds for a turn).
- Practice impulse control through games (Red Light, Green Light, Simon Says).
