SELF CONTROL
Managing your mind and your emotions 10

11. These 2 parts of the brain developed first
The Chimp
The Human
These 2 parts of the brain developed first
Either one could run your life on its own but when they try to work together, there may be problems!
They think in different ways – it’s like 2 different people being in your head 11

12. Takes action based on feelings and impressions
The Human
The Chimp
Emotional thinking
Takes action based on feelings and impressions
You have to learn to control it
Logical thinking
Looks for the truth and facts
Takes action based on calm thoughts
Both can function well separately but have trouble working together 12

13. SELF CONTROL Manage Your Chimp (for KS2 – and grown ups too!) 13

14. Both parts of the brain react to every situation – but in different ways.
Both are thinking what to do about it – but some of the time they don’t agree.
The Chimp is more powerful than the Human and will win – UNLESS you have learnt how to manage it! 14

15. Jumps quickly to an opinion
Over reacts
Jumps quickly to an opinion
Can be ‘paranoid’ (worries about things that aren’t real’)
Doesn’t wait for all the information
Very quick to judge
Emotional
Can twist the facts to suit its opinion 15

16. Open minded, sees others points of view
Thinks calmly
Open minded, sees others points of view
Uses reasoning skills to work things out
Searches for all the relevant information
Uses ‘common sense’- is rational
Logical
Looks for the truth and facts, then acts on this 16

17. The Human must learn to recognise when the Chimp is in charge
The Human must learn to recognise when the Chimp is in charge. Don’t try to control it – but learn to manage it!
The Chimp is an emotional machine that will take over if you allow it to. It is not good or bad – it is a Chimp! 17

18. Let’s think about some ways to help yourself when you need to use SELF CONTROL?
STOP!
Take some deep breaths
Talk to someone you trust
Get some more information, think harder

19. Your Human part of your brain can help you to manage your Chimp – it can help you with SELF CONTROL?

20. This is just a tiny part of what Dr Peters’ work tells us
This is just a tiny part of what Dr Peters’ work tells us. There’s much more to learn if we’d like to…

21. When I have lost my temper I have lost my reason too,
Self Control
When I have lost my temper
I have lost my reason too,
I’m never proud of anything
Which angrily I do.
When I have talked in anger
And my cheeks are flaming red,
I have always uttered something
Which I wish I had not said.
In anger I have never
Done a kindly deed or wise.
But many things for which I felt
I should apologise.
In looking back across my life
And all I’ve lost or made,
I can’t recall a single time
When fury ever paid.

22. A value is a principle that guides our thinking and behaviour
How does SELF CONTROL do this?

23. A quiet moment of reflection...
SELF CONTROL

24. What kind of situations do you find yourself in when SELF CONTROL is hard?

25. (Think about when you are tired or fed up).
Is it more difficult to ‘be in control’ at certain times or under certain conditions?
(Think about when you are tired or fed up).

26. What pushes ‘your buttons’?

27. What can you do to manage your emotions better when you need to?

28. What other values link to SELF CONTROL?
Can you explain how?

29. Can you recognise your ‘Chimp’?
You may want to call it something else depending on how it behaves.
