Skill of the Month!

September’s Skill of the Month: Respect

The Golden Rule-Treat others the way you want to be treated. The idea behind this is that if you treat people politely, with respect that is SINCERE, they’ll treat you that way. It feels good to be respectful, and it feels even better to be treated with respect!  Respect is also part of our RACE behavioral expectations!

Here are some examples of what sincere respect means:

-Using good manners

-Speaking in a kind voice with good language

-Showing consideration toward other people

-Honoring other’s wants, needs, ideas, differences, beliefs, customs, and heritage

-Caring for other living things and the earth

-Obeying the rules and laws of your family, school, community, and country

***Try it out! Each day this month try to treat someone with respect! Keep a journal of what you did each day and review it at the end of the month. Ask yourself how did this make you feel? What could you have done to be more respectful? Did others treat you the way you were treating them?***
