Small group lesson that will last about 15 minutes about impulse control

This learning resource focuses on understanding impulse control, defined as the ability to pause and think before reacting to emotions or urges. It introduces the concept of a 'pause' between feelings and reactions to foster better decision-making. By analyzing personal triggers—situations that provoke impulsive reactions—learners are encouraged to reflect on their past experiences, share stories, and practice using the Stop, Think, Choose model. Activities include identifying triggers, exploring calming strategies like deep breathing and counting backward, and role-playing scenarios to cultivate impulse control skills. Overall, the resource aims to equip individuals with tools to manage emotions and make thoughtful choices in various situations.
