Habit 5: Seek First to Understand Then to be Understood- Listen Before You Talk
“I listen to other people’s ideas and feelings. I try to see things from their viewpoints. I listen to others without interrupting. I share my opinions and ideas.”
Video Link - Don't Assume; Leave Some Room There are two videos within this link. The first video is for students in grades K-2. The second video is for students in grades 3-5.
Discussion Prompt: Describe a time when you assumed that a new food that you were asked to try was going to be terrible. Why did you assume that? Has that ever happened in a conversation with a friend or family member? What did you assume? Did you leave room for others’ thinking? If not, how can you do that next time?
