Habit #5
Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood (K-2)
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 am confident in voicing my ideas. *Please note that some lessons require logging into The Leader in Me website*
