INHIBITION: PHYSICAL

I can hold the urge to touch an object or

person until I have permission or know it is

ok to do so.
I can hold a feeling of desire to say or do

something and have ways to manage it

rather than acting upon it immediately (e.g.

I can hold the urge to buy something, make

a noise, leave my seat, move around ).

I can wait to start a task until all directions /
instructions have been given.

I can stop and resist the urge to take part in

exciting yet ‘risky’ behaviors.

INHIBITION: GENERAL

I can wait to take a turn in a game, task or

conversation. I can hold the urge to

interrupt, push in or start.
I can be deliberate about the things I say

and do. I can stop and make sure they are

helpful to me and others before I go ahead.

I know the areas in which I can be

impulsive. I watch out for these triggers and 1

prepare ahead of time so I am ready with

my strategies to avoid them.
