During the month of October, we are focusing on showing Self-Control at Mt. Zion Elementary. Self-Control is choosing to do what's best even when you don't want to. This can be hard for adults and children alike. From a parent dealing with someone who has just cut them off in traffic, to a child who just had their favorite toy swiped by a sibling, the challenges of staying in control of our thoughts, feelings, and actions are universal. As adults, we can help children learn to maintain self-control by providing consistent daily routines, setting clear expectations and consequences, and modeling self-control in our own times of crisis. Join us in learning about and practicing self-control this October!
