I Choose Self-Control Board changes a child’s state from upset to calm

Dr. Becky Bailey and Kristin Abel from Lake Sybelia Elementary demonstrate a powerful tool for parents and teachers.

First, the I Choose Self-Control Board helps children identify what they are feeling with eight Feeling Face images. Then, it prompts them to consciously reflect on their intention by setting goals with one of four goal statements.

Finally, it provides 12 individualized calming and regulatory strategies for them to choose from in order to help change their inner state from upset to optimal.
