In order for the program's language to become regularly used by students or family members and 7 6
serve the children, teachers or parents, it is important to use the metaphorical concepts learned, in
everyday life.
This will empower children when they manage to deal with their imps or when they are successful
in using their magical powers, by reinforcing them for their success. Thus, we can help them develop
self-awareness and strengthen their ability of self-control and self-regulation, and internal control of
their behavior as well as their self-confidence.
For example, if a child disturbs the class, the teacher may remind them that their imp of lack of
concentration or imp of impatience has taken control over them, and encourage them to think what
magical power they should employ to overcome this situation.
When a child gets angry at their little brother for taking one of their personal items, but resists
fighting with him and turns to their parents for help, they may be praised by saying: "I'm proud of
you for using the Power to Stop and Calm Down or the Power to Ask for Help in order to control
your Imp of Anger or your Imp of Picking on Others."
• Magical Powers Board: Place a ’magical powers’ board or poster in the classroom and each day,
record who was the "best imp warrior". An outstanding warrior is a child who was evidently being
taken over by an imp, but managed to stop him. For example, a child who started to shout with
anger, but managed to calm down.
