Ever have one of those kids who is a really nice kid that has really bad impulse control? They want to do the right thing but they have never learned the skill of self-monitoring. Many times these kids have really great, on-topic ideas to add to the discussion if they could just. raise. their. hand. 

To help these kiddos, I use a self-monitoring page where they can check off when they remember to raise their hand and when they forget. The goal is to fill up the hand-raising boxes before filling up the blurting out boxes.

Sometimes I have the teacher start by checking and then start to let the student take over. After a while of success, I start to black out some of the blurting out boxes with a sharpie to make it more challenging. It's a great tool for those peanut gallery kids that need a little self-reflection. I've had great success using it.

How do you help kids to self-monitor?
