- Scented Flower: ask your child to pretend to smell a flower
- Deep breathing while Mom/Dad/teacher counts to 10.

Here are some questions for teachers to ask themselves to help them decide whether using a self-regulation strategy is appropriate: Is the student able to control the problem behavior (or is it impulsive or out-of-control)? Are the problem behavior and the target behavior easily observed? Does the student have the necessary skills to perform the target behavior? Does the problem behavior occur frequently during a given time period?
Self-Instruction
One of your students is always the first one to complete assignments and turn in her tests. Although she is at or above grade level in all academic areas, she rarely gets more than 65% of her problems correct. You suspect that she is getting careless with her work. Which type of self-instructions would be appropriate for her and why?
Self-evaluation statements are used for error detection and correction. Self-evaluation statements could help your student determine whether she is working carefully, whether her work is accurate, and how to correct any mistakes that she finds
One of your students refuses to continue reading when he comes across a difficult word. Which type of self-instruction would be appropriate for him and why?
It might be helpful to teach coping self-statements to this student. Coping self-statements are used by students to deal with difficult situations or failures and can help him or her to complete hard or frustrating tasks.
You have been working on the use of positive self-instructions with one of your students. You have discussed, developed, and modeled the appropriate use of self-statements with her. After you have gone through this, she responds by rolling her eyes and saying, “Okay, I got it.” What is your next step?
Give her some hypothetical scenarios and suggest that it is her turn to practice using self-instructions. Be sure to give her feedback as she practices to help her improve her self-communication.
