Self control - Spotting Good and Bad Self Control - Cut & Stick ... - Free Printable

To solve this problem, we need to look at the chart and decide where each description of Will's behavior fits best. The chart has two main categories: Self Control and No Self Control.

Let’s break down each box:

1. “Will is so angry he stamps his fins and makes a huge splash”
→ This shows Will reacting strongly without thinking or calming himself down. Stomping fins and making a big splash is an outburst — that’s *not* self control. So this goes under No Self Control.

2. “Will feels frustrated so he swims away and finds somewhere quiet”
→ Here, Will notices he’s upset, but instead of lashing out, he removes himself from the situation and calms down by finding quiet space. That’s a smart, controlled choice. This belongs under Self Control.

3. “Will starts to cry because he doesn’t get what he wants”
→ Crying right away when you don’t get your way is an emotional reaction without trying to manage it first. It’s not necessarily bad, but in terms of “self control,” it means he didn’t pause or cope — he just reacted. So this goes under No Self Control.

Now let’s place them correctly on the chart:

- Left side (Self Control): Only the second box (“swims away and finds somewhere quiet”)
- Right side (No Self Control): First box (“stamps fins...”) and third box (“starts to cry...”)

We double-check:
- Self control = managing emotions calmly → ✔ swimming away quietly
- No self control = immediate emotional reaction → ✔ stomping/splashing AND crying immediately

All placements make sense based on common understanding of self-control for kids.

Final Answer:
Place the box “Will feels frustrated so he swims away and finds somewhere quiet” under SELF CONTROL.
Place the boxes “Will is so angry he stamps his fins and makes a huge splash” and “Will starts to cry because he doesn’t get what he wants” under NO SELF CONTROL.
