Learning to actively control emotions begins in early childhood and increases rapidly as children grow older. When children suppress impulsive behavior and display self control, it brings tremendous benefits along with it. Like higher academic achievement, school engagement and improved social relationships.
My thoroughly researched pack of activities and resources will help you plan on how to work and improve on the skill of self control.
The well laid out information will help you to work on the skill consciously and the suggested activities can be used at any time of the day. Our adorable mascot, Skipper, the Penguin will make learning fun and interesting.

This unit is part of the SEL program, Social Slate that I have conceptualized and created for young learners. The program lays a strong foundation to build social and emotional skills in children. It aims at helping children to understand and express emotions, resolve social conflicts and develop self-awareness. I have referred to the research work by CASEL while creating this program. The program consists of 12 units that help teachers and parents to lay the right foundation in formative years of children so that they can enjoy a successful & rewarding personal / professional life as adults.
