Impulse Control with Peers


What’s happening?

He wants something. He pauses. He asks.


Teacher Script:

“Sometimes the challenge isn’t noise — it’s wanting something right now.” “His hand starts to grab. That’s the fast brain.” “But the Hero Rule reminds him to stop.” “He chooses words instead of grabbing.”

Ask:

  • What does your fast brain feel like?
  • ls grabbing strong or weak?
  • Why are words stronger than hands?

Skill:

Inhibition and respectful requests
