Self-control is the ability to experience a range of feelings and express them using the words and actions that society considers appropriate. The skills associated with self-control allow children to get along with peers and adults and participate in an array of classroom routines, activities and experiences.
Children with strong self-control engage in the following behaviors most of the time:
Control his/her anger
Show patience
Share with other children
Calm herself/himself down when upset
Listen to or respect others
Accept another choice when her/his first choice was unavailable
