Explain that all people experience conflict and confrontation that must be solved. Explain that the body responds to these situations with physical signals. Teachers can provide personal examples of their physical response to stress. Tell the students that when triggers set off their physical response, they must keep calm . This activity will assist students in learning to control impulsivity.
Students can use the chart to help in their decision making process.
Teachers can model this activity with the students and discuss their own answers to questions on the chart. Decisions can be examined in class. In addition to this class activity, teachers could assign this Decision Chart for students to complete over the course of a few days. Students could include decisions they make on a daily basis and discuss their harder decisions with the class at the end of the assigned time. Students will understand the necessary steps for informed decision making along with the consequences of their choices.
