Impulse Control in Kids…Do you know a child who risks their safety by running across a busy street without looking…The child that impulsively hits, bits, or kicks others…The child in the classroom who is distracted to the point that they can’t focus or stay on task with classroom assignments…The child that blurts out answers or constantly interrupts…The child who lacks age-appropriate impulse control and is constantly not paying attention…
 
Do any of these kids sound familiar? 
 
Impulse control, or inhibition, refers to the ability to stop and think before acting. While impulse control can difficult for kids and adults of all ages (Hello cupcake sitting in the kitchen!), the inability to utilize critical thinking to consider consequences and use cognitive flexibility along with other executive functioning skills can be detrimental.
