Impulse Control "Stop-and-Think" Scenarios

Are you having difficulty keeping your class from being disrupted by impulsive behaviors, such as yelling out of turn, grabbing objects off the desk, etc? Transform your classroom into an orderly, peaceful environment using this cutting edge, neuroscience-based curriculum for teaching impulse control skills!

This is not a behavior chart. It is a complete, turn-key curriculum designed to provide K-3 students with a reason for their actions and give students the skill set necessary to “Stop and Think.” This curriculum is based upon cause and effect mapping. This curriculum also creates a visual, non-judgmental framework for developing and reinforcing lifelong self-control and executive functioning skills without relying upon punishment.

The impulse control curriculum is a perfect teaching tool for general and special education teachers and school counselors because it directly addresses the neurodevelopmental needs of young children. Young students will finally develop a clear understanding of how to connect the impulse for an immediate action with the consequences of that action at a future time.

Reasons Why Parents and Schools Appreciate This System:

The focus of this system is on skill building through the development of empathy & social awareness, rather than punishment. When discipline is replaced with proactive skill building, it empowers your child.

This system is backed by neuroscientific research on how children develop. Many traditional methods do not function well because they do not work with how the brain develops, so this system is based on good science.

Through the principle of the "ripple effect", children will develop a better understanding of how their behaviour affects not only themselves but also family & friends.

This is not just a worksheet. This system includes the teacher's guide, activities for students, visual aids and an answer key, so you can spend more time teaching & less time preparing.

The system will validate the feelings and impulses of a child ("Your body was telling you to grab") and provide the child with tangible tools to make a better choice, allowing him/her to become an active architect of his/her own success.

Intended Audience:

The target audience is educators and support personnel who work with children in grades K-3, as well as parents who want to support their child at home. The way that children in this age group typically learn and behave, make it difficult for them to develop effective self-regulation skills, therefore parents and professionals need additional support in teaching these skills. The explicit text indicates a K-3 focus (ages 5-9) and the type of behavioral problems addressed in this resource; behaviors classified as K-3 students in the general education classroom include:

* K-3 General Education (all K-3 classes)

* K-3 Special Education teachers who assist students with ADHD, ASD and/or other executive functioning deficits

* School-based counselors, social workers and school psychologists providing small group and individual intervention

* Behavior interventionists and BCBAs

* Proactive parents wanting to implement strategies at home to help their child gain self-regulation skills
