Self-control means thinking before you act and staying calm, even when things are hard. It helps you make good choices, treat others kindly, and feel proud of yourself. Everyone can learn self-control with practice and patience. Discover how to pause before you react, manage big emotions, and use self-control to make every day a little better. Level 1 readers are aimed at children who are starting to recognize common words and are capable of sounding out unfamiliar words. Short, simple sentences help guide the reader through new concepts and ideas. This project has been made possible in part by the Government of Canada.
