The Circle Of Control
The Circle Of Control is a therapeutic tool that helps kids & teens notice the things in their life that are inside and outside of their control. If we put our time and energy into things we CAN control, it helps us to better manage anxiety and stress, and improves our mental health. On the other hand, if we can recognize the things in our life we CANNOT control, then it can help us to come to terms with, and better cope with these things.
3 Ways To Free Yourself From The Worry And Stress Of Things You Cannot Control Are:
- Acceptance
- Letting Go
- Using Coping Skills

The "marshmallow study" is a famous series of experiments conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel and his colleagues in the late 1960s and early 1970s at Stanford University. The study aimed to investigate self-control and its correlation with various outcomes later in life.
In the original experiment, children between the ages of four and six were placed in a room with a marshmallow or another treat of their choice. They were told that if they could resist eating the marshmallow for a specified period (usually around 15 minutes), they would receive an additional marshmallow as a reward. The researchers then observed how long each child could resist temptation and documented their strategies for doing so.
