How can you teach your son self control?

Self control is, of course, one of the fruits of the spirit listed in Galatians 5. And psychologists say that self regulation skills are the key to avoiding addictions. So how can we develop this essential trait in our son?

First, do all you can to model self-control. Do your best to make your words and actions line up, and be sure your son sees that. Second, help your boy learn how to make difficult tasks more fun. Could he listen to music while he cleans his room, or work on his homework outside on a nice day? And third, be sure your son has free time to choose what he wants to do.
