Part 5 of the Stewardship series...
I think the best way to look at stewardship of self is to teach children to govern themselves. What does that mean? It means that children have enough self-control and agency to be able to make correct choices.
The best resource I know of is Nicholeen Peck's Teaching Self-Government. She has a great book that explains her system, and a full-fledged implementation course.
Can your children:
Follow instructions calmly?
Accept a no answer or criticism calmly?
Accept a consequence calmly?
Disagree appropriately calmly?
If not, you need Nicholeen's expertise!
And I need to revisit Nicholeen's expertise!
