2nd Steps Social Skills

Showing Care and Concern

Last week, we role-played how to respond to others in a caring way.  We learned that people feel better when we show them compassion (and we also feel better when we help!)  We brainstormed different ways we can do this (being a good listener, saying kind words, offering a toy).  Showing compassion helps us all get along well with others.  (This isn't too tricky for us since we are always doing nice things for each other!)

Here are some scenarios to try at home  (think about what you'd say and do):

  • Your father has a lot of dishes to do after dinner.  Do you think he could use some help?
  • It looks like your neighbor could use some help taking out the recycling.  Can you help out?
  • Your mom tried hard to get great Thanksgiving bargains on the biggest shopping day of the year, but the store was all sold out of what she wished for.  Can you offer some kind and reassuring words to her?
