Support Self-Control

Resource Description:

In this exemplar video, a teacher provides a toddler with a cue to control her body and actions during a self-concept activity. Notice how, when the child begins to stand and lean across the table to reach for a sticker, the teacher says, “Sit down so you can grab an ice cream cone.” This cue helps the child sit back down in her chair and safely wait her turn—an example of providing children cues to remind them that there are times to control their bodies and actions while remaining sensitive to their emerging ability to do so.
