Why is Self-management Important for Kids?
Our children are growing up in a fast-changing and challenging world. - New technologies require quicker and more creative responses.
- Wars and financial downturns create burdens and stress.
- Increased population, crowded cities and competition for jobs place strains on family life and personal relationships.
To handle these pressures, self-management skills, such as the following, are most critical for success:
- Treating oneself and others with respect
- Making responsible choices
- Valuing each person's uniqueness
- Understanding how the brain works
- Taking care of one's body
- Using personal power in a positive way
- Managing personal feelings
- Communicating clearly
- Using self-discipline
- Solving problems
- Working with others successfully
We Can Help
In English and Spanish, we assist parents, teachers and other adults to encourage and teach young people to be good self-managers.
The Impact of Our Programs
In schools with the Self-Management Program, with the participation of parents and educators, students have changed their school and home behaviors and substantially raised their state test scores. In addition, Montebello Gardens Elementary School (a Self-Management Program school), was honored in 2008 by the National Center for Urban School Transformation as one of twelve schools in the nation which have demonstrated exemplary gains in student performance.
