The lesson “Self-Control” teaches children about the importance of self and social awareness and how to use that to interact with others in a healthy way. Through a demonstration and interactive activity with sweets and cookies, children learn about the importance of self-control when it comes to consuming cookies and in all areas of life. The children are able to identify and verbalize at least two reasons why it is important to have self-control. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 3-5 years, and is the 38th lesson in the 1st Year Core Curriculum Set and part of the “Emotional Development” unit.
