ABSTRACT
Self-control is the chief element in self-respect, and self-respect is the chief element in courage. Self-control is getting oneself to do or not do what they want to do or not do, when that is difficult. Actually, there are four types of self-control. Shapiro developed a model of self-control that compares four possible actions: positive and negative asserting and yielding. The goal of all education is to make it unnecessary for students always to be present. That is, teachers want self-management to become engrained in everyday behavior. Age, gender, self-confidence, creativity, sensitivity, intelligence, and maturity are all factors that must be considered. What teachers can say is that one need to be on the lookout for opportunities to offer practice, to model the skills, and to reward self-mastery. Teachers who understand that these are among their most vital goals almost always do a fine job of it.
