Welcome the student, introduce yourself, and set a positive tone. Explain that today’s session will teach a simple strategy to manage impulses in school and daily life.

Review each objective and ask the student which one they’re most interested in. Encourage them to share personal challenges with impulsivity.

Define impulse control in your own words. Ask for examples of times the student acted without thinking and discuss the outcome.

Show the [Stop-Think-Act Strategy Card](#stop-think-act-strategy-card). Model each step with a scenario (e.g., feeling upset when teased).

Hand out the [Impulse Trigger Identification Worksheet](#impulse-trigger-identification-worksheet). Guide the student to list three specific triggers.

Explain how to record triggers, chosen responses, and reflections on the [Self-Monitoring Chart](#self-monitoring-chart). Fill one row together using a sample scenario.

Read each scenario aloud. Have the student pause and talk through Stop-Think-Act. Debrief what went well and what could improve.

Introduce the [Pause Plan Template](#pause-plan-template). Help the student fill in steps and include calming strategies like deep breathing or counting.

Ask the student to share what felt easy and what was challenging. Help them choose realistic, specific goals (e.g., use Stop-Think-Act once per day).

Summarize the key strategy steps and remind the student to keep materials handy. Confirm the follow-up time and invite any final questions.
