Hi LVE families,
From managing impulsive behavior, resisting distractions, learning the art of delayed gratification, to regulating emotions in the face of conflict, self-regulatory behavior is key to your child’s success! Here are 5 strategies to teach self-control to kiddos.
Be clear about rules and expectations
Explain what the rules are, what’s expected, what is and isn’t appropriate, and take the time to give your child regular reminders. The more simple the rules are, and the more consistently you reinforce them, the easier it is for children to meet your expectations
Follow a predictable routine
Have your child get used to a predictable routine with clear boundaries around different activities – learning, independent play, outdoor time, quiet time, eating, bedtime, etc.
Remind! Remind! Remind!
Taking the time to give your child reminders at regular intervals will go a long way in helping them learn the art of self-control.
Use positive reinforcement
Positive praise and reinforcement can increase the likelihood that a child will repeat a desirable behavior. Sticker charts or visuals are a simple, yet effective form of positive reinforcement that can be extremely motivating for kids.
Model positive behavior
Thinking before acting, practicing deep breathing, being kind and compassionate to others, and using appropriate language to express feelings are all positive ways to teach your child self-regulating behaviors to help develop self-control.

St. Charles County Library Partnership
St. Charles County public school district students have automatic access to library materials and online resources through the St. Charles County Library. This year, our families were provided the opportunity to opt out of this automatic access when completing annual forms at the beginning of the year. If desired, parents may opt out by working with their school librarian mid-year.
Wear It Wednesday
Wear it Wednesday!
Every Wednesday at Lakeview is a House Spirit Day, which we call WEAR IT WEDNESDAY! If your child wears a shirt reflecting their house color, they get one house point. We recognize not all families or students have official house shirts, and we want to recognize students who rock their house colors. As a reminder the colors are:
Altruismo - Black
Amistad - Red
Isibindi - Green
Reveur - Blue
If your child comes to school in a house shirt OR wearing a shirt of their color, they earn a point for their house.
