The lesson “Practicing Self Control” teaches children about the application of self and social awareness in making responsible life choices and positively acting with self-control. The children learn to verbalize the meaning of self-control, describing strategies for maintaining self-control in difficult situations (Stop-Think-Act), and verbalizing situations where self-control is necessary. Each child has the opportunity to ask Jesus for help with self-control when necessary. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 9-11 years, and is the 36th lesson in the 1st year Core Curriculum Set and part of the “Emotional Development” unit.
