040126 ~ Impulse Control - Frank Rubino

April 1, 2026 ~ Lucy Ann Lance is joined by Psychotherapist Frank Rubino for this week's On The Couch! Frank explains that impulse control involves taking time to think before acting or speaking, as our initial impulses occur very quickly, often within 40 milliseconds. He notes that the frontal lobe, responsible for impulse control, isn’t fully developed until the mid-to-late twenties, making it important to teach children discipline in their reactions.
