Teach children how to pause, reflect, and make thoughtful choices with this playful, evidence-based workbook on inhibitory control.

This 48-page digital download is packed with engaging activities, strategy-based exercises, and easy-to-use visuals designed to help children in grades 2–5 develop self-regulation, attention control, and impulse management—core executive functioning skills that influence academic performance and behavior.

Whether you’re a teacher, parent, or specialist, this resource offers flexible tools to help kids build self-discipline and self-awareness in fun and meaningful ways.

🎯 What Is Inhibitory Control?

Inhibitory control is the brain’s ability to stop and think before reacting. It allows children to:

Resist distractions
Follow multi-step directions
Stay on task
Manage emotional responses
Make better social and academic decisions

This skill is often underdeveloped in children with ADHD, executive functioning challenges, and emotional regulation difficulties. With consistent practice, inhibitory control can become automatic—and that's exactly what this workbook is designed to support.

📘 What’s Included in This 48-Page Digital Workbook?

✔️ Interactive activities and games to help kids build focus and control
✔️ Step-by-step strategies for slowing down and making mindful choices
✔️ Visual supports featuring the phrase “I Control” to reinforce self-awareness
✔️ Skill-building practice using real-life examples and age-appropriate scenarios
✔️ The YOU TURN Framework to help students pause, assess, and redirect their behavior
✔️ S.E.E.M.E. and P.O.W.E.R. strategies to strengthen internal reflection and intentionality
✔️ Compatible for printable use or digital annotation apps (like GoodNotes, Kami, or Notability)
