Helping Your Child Gain Self-Control

At Bethel Early Learning Center, one of our goals is to prepare your child for kindergarten readiness. According to the article from NAEYC, self-control is a critical skill for children to learn. Parents can help children learn self-control through several helpful tips including doing activities together that require following directions; finishing what you are doing before responding to a child’s request; and working with your child to finish a puzzle with a few more pieces than they are used to.
