Self control

We have begun our next trait in character education - self control. We have been discussing the responsible and irresponsible choices we have when we are angry, and how to effectively deal with being angry without hurting others or ourself. The trick we are working on at school is 1 + 3 + 10 = calm. 1 - stop, 3 deep breaths and count to 10 in your head, and then you shouldn't feel angry and can make the responsible choice.
