SELF-CONTROL IN CHILDREN
Self-control is an ability that allows the child to express their behavior and emotions appropriately. When a child achieves pauses and not act deliberately (impulsive) may suggest that developed this ability essential for a healthy and socially adaptive life.
How can you get it and/or learn it? There is no doubt that this ability is learned and developed from an early age. Children learn auto-control through observation and self-education. At the age of 10 years to 12 years, few children punch or cry in response to a frustration. On the contrary, it is normal to display eagerly to please their parents, teachers and peers in an acceptable manner.
Children who do not develop this ability through social modeling can learn it through direct teaching by the use of rewards and consequences. It is important to select appropriate goals based on the child’s age. For example, 5-year goal would not interrupt sleep at age 7 at a fixed time and 9 years start their homework.

Here are some strategies that work for teaching self-control:
1. Catch a break: take a break (pause) can help reduce fights and assaults. Encourage him to take a break.
2. Establish a schedule for sleeping or dining. The structure is very important because it prevents misunderstandings and assumes expected every moment.
3. Teaching to pay attention: teach not to interrupt and to wait their turn.
4. Use rewards: the key to success is constant reward the child for their progress, for this reason, it is suggested to recognize their achievements.
