About Impulse Control
Impulse Control: The ability to resist the temptation to speak on a thought, or act on a desire, until thinking through the consequences. This executive function skill takes the longest to fully mature because it is dependent on the development of our prefrontal cortex.
The Barratt Impulsiveness Scale
The Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11; Patton et al., 1995) is a questionnaire designed to assess the personality/behavioral construct of impulsiveness. Parents can use this as a guage to determine what to focus on when helping children build refusal skills.
About Risky Behavior
For Back to School, BrainAbouts suggests beginning the year by watching About the Brain and About Risky Behavior to set the stage for your prevention program. These two videos offer the science behind the reason to say 'no' to high-risk behavior: to protect the developing brain. Use the BrainAbouts Handouts in-class and at home as a discussion guide.
