Managing Impulsivity and Goal Setting

Yesterday Kauri watched a video about some children who had to manage their impulsivity to get a reward - 2 marshmallows instead of 1. They had to work very hard to control their actions using good thinking and will power!

Afterwards we used the hexagon tool to collect our ideas, share our thinking and see what we had learnt. We discovered that 

 Managing Impulsivity is...

• having self control
• stopping and thinking
• doing the right thing at the right time
• something that happens in your mind!

We also connected this with our inquiry by realising that Managing our Impulsivity will help us achieve our goals by

• being patient and waiting for the results to come
• working hard sometimes to get through the boring bits
• staying on task and being focussed!

Do you think you could all help us stay on task and achieve our goals this term?

 I wonder what else we could be doing....
