What decisions do you make when you’re feeling disappointed or left out? How do you react when things are not fair? Can you make a plan when you’re given a task? Self-management (executive functioning or self-regulation) skills enable you to display things like patience and open-mindedness and if you get really good, you gain some control over your emotions or temper. As you move into adolescence, there are a number of things that the adults in your life expect from you that were previously overlooked. You are expected to be mature, but what does that really mean? It means that you begin to delay gratification, manage your time, and realize that all of your decisions have consequences (good or bad).
