GROW WITH GOALS
__________________________________________________________________________________
Listening can be hard! We become good listeners with practice,
patience, and mindfulness.
Goal:
Ask someone about their day. Did they have a fun day?
Listen to them talk about what they did and how they felt.
Remember to listen with your whole body. Then people will
see that you are truly listening.
Goal:
Think about a time someone listened to you. How did it make you feel?
Goal:
How can you become a better listener? Write down the ways. Think about
these goals the next time someone shares a story or problem with you.
