Self Control Is Me

Self Control Is Me is an engaging social-emotional children's book designed to help young learners understand that big feelings are okay, but how we respond to those feelings matters.

Through relatable situations and child-friendly language, Self Control Is Me introduces children to simple, practical strategies they can use when they feel frustrated, angry, disappointed, or overwhelmed. From taking a break and going for a walk to counting, calming their bodies, and thinking about their choices, children learn that they have tools they can use to regain control and make positive decisions.

Created from author and Early Childhood Special Education teacher Lynette Sneed's experiences working with young children, Self Control Is Me reinforces an important message: self control and self-regulation are skills that can be taught, modeled, practiced, and strengthened over time.

More than a story, Self Control Is Me is a resource for children, parents, educators, and school professionals who want to encourage emotional awareness, positive coping strategies, and healthy decision-making.

Most importantly, the book empowers children to recognize that even when their feelings feel BIG, they have the ability to pause, use their tools, make a positive choice, and proudly say:

"Self Control Is Me!"
