The Importance of Face to Face Conversations
What many people forget is that there is a person, a school, a community on the other side of that phone or computer that will read that message. When we post something online we may think I've made my point and it's my opinion so its fine to post. What we are missing is the thought of "Why did I post this and not talk to the person?" "If I'm speaking up about something, why am I doing it online where the person I'm trying to speak with my not even see this?" "How does putting someone else down make me look better?"
These are questions we ask our students and children, yet do we ask ourselves?
We want our kids to have a voice, to be a positive influence on others by asking questions and learning to interact with others in a productive way. Does this mean we have to yell and scream to get others to listen? No, you can still be kind and have your voice heard. When you post something just think are we setting the example we want our kids to follow? Have I talked to this person before I posted? Do they know I feel this way?
We get back what we give in the world. So yes, I will say it because I mean it...Kindness Matters!!
