Last week’s parenting workshop highlighted one trait that proved over the course of a 32 year study to have the greatest impact on academic, financial, and legal success. That trait? Self-Control.
Some tips for increasing self-control in children:
1. Imaginative play—plenty of time away from TV, video games, and electronics
2. Chores—follow the “grandma rule”, no dessert until you finish dinner. Make sure kids complete tasks before going on to what they want to do.
3. Games light Simon Says; Red Light, Green Light; and Freeze Dance help teach kids to wait before performing an action.
4. At school, allow your kids the freedom to take care of their things when they arrive at school. Hanging up coats, putting away backpacks, etc. helps build a child’s capacity for self-control.

Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming. John Wooden
This week’s Building Block: POISE
Poise is just being yourself; being at ease in any situation; never fighting yourself.
Poise is the result of the other building blocks. Poise comes from being fully prepared (industriousness) and being confident.
We may adjust our outward appearance to fit social situations, but if we have poise we won’t try to change who we really are. Outside influences won’t change who we are or what we try to be. We’ll never try to be anything other than who we are and that will allow us to function to our best ability.
I commit myself to developing and using the talents and gifts God has given me.
