Mrs. Doneghy's Counseling Connection |
During the months of January and February, the students continue to learn about the Seven Habits of Happy Kids during classroom lessons. In January, we studied Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood. In this Habit, students were taught to fully listen to others in order to understand the meaning of what they are trying to say, rather than jumping to conclusions. They learned to listen with not only their ears, but their hearts in order to make the other person feel heard and valued.
During February, students will explore Habit 6: Synergize. To synergize means to work together. Each person has strengths and weaknesses. When we synergize and utilize each others' strengths, we produce a more dynamic outcome and are more successful together than by ourselves. Together is better! |
