Learning Games to OPEN Doors to Behavior Control and
Gains Through PLAY
Make playtimes lead to self-control. When children can make good choices their behavior will improve.
The role of self-management by the child is an acquired skill. Whether the child listens to their own self-talk or can remember previous good choices, picking a good response is a skill.
Try the kids games like: Simon Says to build self-control.
The dilemmas of making choices and selection actions and activities when in a group setting, particularly, demand
recruitment of the brain's executive function. Many children have been trained and exposed to such sturctured
experiences or regulated situations that, when facing a need to decide, children who can focus clearly on their current
setting, gain significant positive achievement if they make a solid CHOICE!
When a good choice is made, positive affirmation from YOU is well-deserved!
