PWA Try this If {LEARNER_FNAME} wants to play a game on the phone or computer, see if {SUBJ_PRONOUN} can wait for a while to increase the time {SUBJ_PRONOUN} is allowed to play. Say: If you decide to play now, you can play for five minutes. But if you wait for 10 minutes, then you can play for 10 minutes.   If {SUBJ_PRONOUN} decides to wait, tell {OBJ_PRONOUN} you will let {OBJ_PRONOUN} know when the waiting time is up. In the mean time, {SUBJ_PRONOUN} can read a book, draw, or do another activity.  Leave the phone somewhere in {LEARNER_FNAME}’s reach where {SUBJ_PRONOUN} can see it. If {SUBJ_PRONOUN} takes the phone, let {OBJ_PRONOUN} play the game for only the original amount of time (five minutes).   If {SUBJ_PRONOUN} successfully waits 10 minutes, praise {OBJ_PRONOUN} for waiting and let {OBJ_PRONOUN} play for the longer period of time. As {LEARNER_FNAME} gets better at waiting, increase the amount of time that you ask {OBJ_PRONOUN} to wait (for example, for 30 minutes, an hour, or even longer).
PWA Variations
PWA What to look Encouraging anything {LEARNER_FNAME} does to exert control over a desire for immediate rewards is very important. In this activity, note whether {SUBJ_PRONOUN} focuses on something else, closes {POS_PRONOUN} eyes, or uses other ways to help make the waiting easier. Remember to praise {SUBJ_PRONOUN} for using those strategies at the end.
PWA Why this matters Learning to wait for what you want is an important skill, especially in a world where instant gratification is easy to obtain through technology. Practicing waiting and self-distraction for an increased reward later can help build self control. UTM-EM-049-MAR-21
