The intent for your children must be for them to:

  • Set and work towards simple goals, being able to wait for what they want and control their immediate impulses when appropriate. 
  • Give focused attention to what the teacher says, respond appropriately even when engaged in the activity, and show an ability to follow instructions involving several ideas or actions.
