Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) includes major life skills that all students need to get along with others and live happy, healthy lives. This book delves into the essential SEL skill of impulse control, an integral component of the SEL core concept of self-management. Readers learn how to think before acting. Accessible text paired with vibrant full-color photographs will allow readers to connect with the concept, and gain a deep understanding of how to apply this skill in daily life. For a comprehensive learning experience, this nonfiction title can be paired with the fiction title Andy the Ant Knows How to Act (ISBN: 9781725353800). The instructional guide on the inside front and back covers provides vocabulary, reflections, background knowledge, text-dependent questions, whole class activities, and independent activities.
