Behavior Choices

Worksheet Description

This worksheet helps students differentiate between self-managed and non-self-managed behaviors. It includes a set of actions, such as “taking deep breaths” or “hitting someone,” which students must categorize as either positive or negative self-management strategies. The visual guides with cartoon images reinforce the understanding of managing emotions versus acting impulsively. The aim is to encourage the thoughtful handling of stressful situations.

Practicing with this worksheet improves decision-making skills and emotional self-control. By categorizing behaviors, students learn the importance of choosing positive responses to stress or frustration. This activity fosters critical thinking as students discern between productive and harmful actions. Over time, this leads to better emotional regulation and impulse control in real-life situations.
