Impulse control is a foundational skill that supports a child’s ability to participate successfully in daily life. From waiting for their turn during games, to stopping their body before bumping into someone, to resisting the urge to grab or shout, impulse control affects how children move, learn, interact, and regulate themselves. By combining movement, play, and thoughtful reflection, this 1-hour webinar aims to help children build the internal impulse control skills they need to pause, plan, and participate more successfully in the world around them.
This course and related curriculum were created to give occupational therapists, mental health practitioners, teachers, and parents practical, engaging ways to build impulse control through movement and play. The activities shared in this course combine motor challenges, sensory input, cognitive engagement, and reflection to help children practice pausing, planning, and adjusting their actions.
