The Benefits of Self-Control -Conclusion of HOW TO TEACH SELF-CONTROL

 TRAIN NOW

Saying no to your child now will help him to say no to himself later in life-for example, if he is tempted to take drugs or to engage  in other harmful practices. 

TEACH BY EXAMPLE

* Does my child see me work through frustrating situations without losing my temper?

*  Have I explained to my child the reasons why I try to handle problems calmly?''

*How would my child describe me-as impulsive and  quick tempered or as self-disciplined and controlled?

WHAT WE DID

"Even though our daughter was allowed to become frustrated or angry, she wasn't allowed to let those feelings exasperate those around her. If she couldn't control  herself, then she would be removed from other's company until she could calm down." - Theresa.

"My wife and I made it our aim to let our children know when they made us proud. We praised them when they didn't allow difficulty to get them  out of sorts or when the kept their cool and showed self-control." - Wayne.
