Other People Matter Mindset: Identifying and Appreciating the Good in Others
Our focus this week will once again be on the Other People Matter (Bucs Treasure Others) Mindset with a specific focus on identifying and appreciating the good in others.
Challenge your student every night at dinner to share one compliment about a family member.
Giving compliments to others is one simple way we identify and appreciate the good in others.
August 2020-April 2021Check out the P2 for Families website, which contains 1 quote, 1 video, and 3 questions for your family to discuss. This is designed to be easy for parents to use to lead conversations around the importance of character strengths and positive relationships. It is differentiated for grades Pre-K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12. Most of these webpages are password protected and the password (very simple) is: P2
