I love how KZbin recommends this to me after my lack of self-regulation led me to watch KZbin

This is hilarious! My favorite part is when Cory held Cookie Monster's hands and said "I believe in you". LOL.

This incredible video uses skills that I have been learning about from CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy). As a man with both bipolar and OCD, I found this kind of thinking very helpful. It is particularly about thinking before reacting. Defusion is one of the most helpful skills I have learned from CBT.

How I love that blue fur ball 😍

In adulthood, you don't only need to put off good things until later. Usually, you have to exclude them all together.

[@danielyahalom3961]

that feeling when the cookie monster has more self control than me

[@mmmk1616]

What a fun video! Parents can use this to teach their children self control. Thanks NPR :)

[@bavaun6575]

cookie monster probably forgot about self-control after the video. also, "We need to wait for cory to come back with the milk" caught me laughing

[@jessstuart7495]

When you are forced to use up your willpower dealing with the constant stream of crap life is throwing at you, it can be hard to say no to that "cookie".

[@katbowl9971]

@@isaackvasager9957 My sentiments exactly!

[@Douglas_Gillette]

Carol deck refutes the concept of willpower depleting in her research.

[@ZE308AC]

It is easy once you realized it will harm your body and soul

[@jennawalker3133]

The school counselor showed this to my students during guidance and they absolutely loved it.

[@fapaimi]

[@fabiolagonzalez7877]

I'm with you Cookie Monster: "Why NOT eat cookies?! I loved this video! I'm a grown woman and still love Sesame Street characters! ...maybe they resemble people I still know. Cookie Monster is my favorite along w/Oscar the Grouch! Thank you for this! It made me LOL!

[@jkka1477]

[@SanSan-zz7cn]

Aramma Woodson is Cookie Monster well, mentally

[@noormohammed-ali3708]

This was a great video to teach children different strategies they can use to self regulate. The strategy to help kids calm down like deep breaths is a tool that they can use in different scenarios inside and outside the classroom. After all, managing emotions is an important component of self regulation that children need to actively practice well into adulthood and will greatly aid them in developing a high degree of emotional intelligence. This video was entertaining and well thought out, definitely will be showing it to my child and sharing it with my friends who have children!

[@darbydeleon8687]
