Virtue 3 - Self- Control
This virtue helps students restrain their impulses and think before they act so that they behave right and are less likely to make rash choices with potentially dangerous outcomes. This is the virtue that helps kids become self-reliant because they know they can control their actions. It is also the virtue that motivates generosity and kindness because it helps kids put aside what would give them immediate gratification and stirs their conscience to do something for someone else instead.
