This week’s word on how to show respect: Listening
Respect is our focus for this month. Listening is one way to show respect and there are ways that we can listen with our whole body. Here are some ways to practice listening with our WHOLE BODY to show others that what they say is important to us and cause us to:
- Stop what we are doing
- Respectfully listen to what they are saying
Here's how to listen with your:
Eyes= Look toward the speaker
Ears= Get both ears ready to hear
Mouth= Quiet and still
Hands= Quiet and kept to yourself
Feet= Quiet and still
Body= Facing toward the speaker
Heart= Consider the speaker and others listening
This week practice showing respect by using your whole body. Do this by stopping and listening to others who are talking to you. Share what you notice with a family member, friend, or teacher!
