Strategies for Enhancing Impulse Control among Adolescents: A Narrative Review

Abstract

Adolescent growth depends on impulse control, which impacts wellbeing, social interactions and academic achievement. The purpose of this narrative review is to assess the efficacy of therapeutic and educational initiatives aimed at enhancing impulse control during this crucial developmental phase. The review highlights various successful interventions that can be used to improve impulse control in adolescents. These interventions include self-regulation strategies, serious games, mindfulness practices, cognitive-behavioural approaches and biopsychosocial workshops. To support comprehensive adolescent development, future research should focus on long-term outcomes and the integration of these interventions into broader educational and therapeutic frameworks.
