Why use an Impulse Control Journal?
The daily journal sheets in The Impulse Control Journal are designed to encourage assessment of strategies, determine what worked in specific situations, and identify areas of potential growth. Kids can use the journal to self-monitor and self-guide toward improved self-regulation and impulse control.
Controlling impulses is an executive function skill that corresponds and depends on other executive functioning skills. Self-control is very much related to weaknesses in planning, prioritizing, time management, and persistence.
A daily assessment can help with addressing self-control needs through practice in real-life situations. Reviewing goals and outcomes is an effective strategy for self-monitoring and self-control.
