Habit Highlight- Seek First to Understand and Then be Understood
Focus Lesson- Write several different emotions (anger, sadness, happiness, disappointment, etc.) on small pieces of paper and put them in a box. Have each family member draw one of the papers out of the box. Invite each family member to act out the mood on the paper they drew while the others try to guess the emotion. Point out that you can learn a lot about what others are trying to say by using your eyes to watch their faces and body movements.
