Teach students a strategy of four simple steps for stopping, thinking, decision-making, and choosing the right behavior. Third-grader Braden is a real character. He loves to be the center of attention. Everyone just LOVES his jokes, witty comments, and immediate reactions. Or at least that's what he thinks. He comic genius, as he sees it, causes his friends to look at him in awe. But when he is corrected in class for ill-timed jokes, and an impulsive reaction during a game of dodge ball ends up with a classmate in tears, Braden's teachers and parents start working with him on how to control his impulses. Will the lessons provided by the adults in Braden's life help him see a better way to manage his impulses? Find out in this hilarious story, the first book in the Executive Function series by author and school counselor Bryan Smith.

Críticas "Controlling your impulses is a hard topic to teach to children. Finally a book that gets the point across in a humorous manner. I can't wait to use this with the children at my school." - Marjorie Edge, Elementary School CounselorI read this book with my social skills group last week and they loved guessing what the boy was going to do next, what he should do, and what they would do if they were in his situation. This book is funny, easy to read, and relatable for students. I also love the process that they provide in the book for thinking through your actions and deciding whether they are going to make your situation better or worse. We created posters for our classroom and their desks to remind them to follow the process in order to be impulse control experts. I have already purchased the downloadable activities to keep instructing on impulse control! - Andrea BoydI read What Were You Thinking and I really enjoyed it. It's a fantastic example of how to control impulses and I will use it with a group of boys in fourth grade who are just not using their impulse control. I enjoyed the four steps on the card and think this would be a great graphic to add to classrooms to help with impulse control. - Christie Henderson, School Counselor Biografía del autor Bryan Smith has worked in the education field for more than 15 years, first as an elementary school teacher then as a school counselor.
