Self-Management
Self-Management is the ability to understand and regulate your emotions, thoughts, and actions in a way that promotes more positive wellbeing for self and others around you. Being able to effectively manage different situations and people encountered helps us to achieve our goals, sustain positive relationships, and succeed in and out of school.
