Be a SMART COOKIE on Thursday

This character is Cookie Monster from "Sesame Street," another children television show I watched growing up!

Cookie Monster loved to eat cookies . . . http://giphy.com/gifs/hungry-cookie-monster-EKUvB9uFnm2Xe

So when considering self-regulation . . . do we want to be like Cookie Monster?

Cookie Monster is mostly in his UPSTAIRS brain . . . 

Take a deep breath, maybe three or four, to get to your DOWNSTAIRS brain where you can make a better choice . . . 

Breathing calms your body, focuses your mind and makes the world a better place . . . not just for cookies?!!!
