Impulse Control Lesson Map

By the end of this 20-minute session, the student will recognize impulse triggers, apply the Steady Steps strategy to pause and consider choices, engage in role-play practice, and reflect on responses to enhance self-control.

Impulse control is essential for self-regulation, academic success, and positive social interactions. Building these micro-skills helps the student pause, choose appropriate behaviors, and reduce impulsive actions.
