Self Regulation: Brief Anecdotes and Stories.
1) Once upon a time, there was a
10-year-old boy that
had many issues at home. He often both bothered his classmates
and disrespected his teachers. Eventually, everyone started to ignore
him.
As a consequence, He started to feel unhappy because he didn’t mean to upset them. He began
to hate himself to the point where he wouldn’t take advice from anybody.
One
day, a close friend of him told him that everything that he had to do is to
control himself and be more tolerant with others. He started to be patient,
tolerant and friendly with those he once hated.
2)
In
the old days, there was a boy named Giova Bon, who
was a regular kid, but
he didn’t know how to control his emotions.
His father told him that in order
to have a register of how many times he freaked out, he would need to put a nail on the
door.
So, every time that he was able to control himself, he would remove a nail
from the door. However, the scar will always be there.
3) Once upon a time, there was an
orphan girl who had a terrible behavior and no one could stand her anymore.
As
time passed by, one lovely family decided to adopt her and gave her an
excellent education, and of course!,
a new home.
It was hard at the beginning,
but she realized that it was for her own good, so she changed her attitude to become more sociable.
