Value Relationships 0 Human beings are social creatures, we need social interaction and build relationships with others. 0 All human beings want to be loved and accepted by others. 0 Imagine what your life would be like without those important people in your life. 0 Think about why you value each relationship and different ways you can show each person how important he/she is to you. 0 Types of relationships; parents, family, friends, coaches, teachers, coworkers, bosses, etc.
Respect the Rights of Others 0 It is our responsibility to respect the rights of other people. We can do this by: 0 Treating people with courtesy and respect (be sensitive to the feelings of others and never judging someone before getting to know them). 0 Allowing them to do their work in a safe environment (no physical or verbal bullying). 0 Letting them teach and learn without disruption (be considerate of others trying to learn). 0 Not interfering with their property (respect school, staff, and student property).
Be Polite & Use Good Manners 0 People are more receptive towards you when you are polite and use good manners. 0 Examples: 0 0 0 “Please” & “Thank you” Use their name not just pronouns “May I help you? ” Don’t be pushy, over aggressive, or sarcastic Consider the age of the person and the appropriate vocabulary and conduct towards them
Celebrate Achievement 0 Society today due to Reality TV and Game Shows like “American Idol”, “X Factor”, etc. we think that it is acceptable to put down people in a brutal way. 0 Yes, it is important to tell the truth, but use constructive criticism to help them improve. 0 Lift others up NOT put them down! 0 Recognize others achievements no matter how large or small. We crave that acknowledgement and acceptance of what we are doing is important and/or making a difference. 0 Be sincere when acknowledging others.

Work at Building & Maintaining Relationships 0 Relationships are work, some more than others 0 If you value the relationship you need to put in the time and effort to develop and maintain those relationships. 0 We all have our own experiences, perceptions, and visions for the relationship. We may not always be on the same page, so honest conversations in a nonthreatening was is very important.
Be Tolerant & Understanding of Difference 0 Tolerance is the ability to accept differences among people. 0 These could include religious, physical, family, or personality differences. 0 What are some examples of victims of intolerance? Why is it unfair or unjust?
Respect Other Points of View 0 Right know you know what you want to do/don’t want to do and what you like/ don’t like 0 But in any relationship or just be an active member of society you need to consider others wants and need to work. 0 If we were go on the BEST FIELD TRIP EVER what would it be? How could we plan one that everyone would be happy? Is it even possible?
Don’t Bully or Put Others Down Why do people bully? 0 People can direct frustrations, hurt, anger and difficulty at home or in class to you by bullying. 0 Lack of attention from friends, parents or teachers can make a person bully you, just to feel popular and seen as ‘tough’ or ‘cool’ and in charge. 0 Some kids have learned bullying from others (parents, brothers or sisters, friends). They have seen them getting their way by being angry or pushing other people around. They believe that by putting fear in you, they will have the best shot at everything in school or in your neighbourhood. 0 Some people also do that because they are victims themselves. 0 Bad up-bringing at home can make people insensitive to other people's feelings and emotions. They are happy to see their classmate depressed, sad and hurt. 0 Watching a lot of violent films (movies and TV), and video games can make a person try out violent things. They usually try them out on people who appear smaller or weaker to them. 0 http: //eschooltoday. com/bullying/Why-do-people-bully. html

Manage and Resolve Conflict 0 We often find ourselves in conflict with the people in our lives. Sometimes the problems are very simple and easy to resolved; however, there are other times they may be more serious. 0 Unless dealt with sensitively these conflicts may escalate into great problems. Conflict Resolution 0 Try to sort things out so that everyone gets a fair go and something of what they want. There are 4 things that you need to do. 1. Understand 2. Avoid making things worse 3. Work together 4. Find the solution
1. Understand 0 Everyone involved needs to understand what the conflict (argument) is about. 0 To do this, everyone needs to: 0 say what they feel about it (without interruptions). 0 listen to what other people have to say about their feelings (without interrupting them). 0 try to put themselves in the other person's shoes and try to understand their point of view. 2. Avoid making things worse 0 no put-downs 0 no mean, nasty remarks that will hurt people's feelings - no personal remarks about a person's looks, gender (whether they are a boy or girl), their 'secrets' or things that have happened in the past 0 no screaming and shouting 0 no fighting, hitting, kicking, pushing or any kind of hurting the other person's body.
3. Work Together 4. Find the Solution 0 Make "I" statements, like: "I feel hurt when. . . " "I need to feel or be. . . " "I hear what you are saying, but I feel. . . " 0 Take turns at speaking. You might even want to decide on a time limit for each person to speak before you get started. That way everybody gets the same chance to say what he or she wants. 0 Talk quietly. It's hard to keep your voice down when you feel upset, but a quiet firm voice is far better than someone shouting. A loud nasty voice makes everyone upset and unwilling to listen. 0 Once you have listened to each other and found what the problem is, then you need to look for a solution. 0 Brainstorm together to think of ways in which you could resolve the conflict. Think of as many solutions as you can, even if they seem silly at first. 0 Another person may be helpful to write down your ideas or suggest ways of making your ideas work so that you can resolve the conflict.
Possible outcomes 0 Yes/ Yes~ when both of you are pleased with what you worked out. 0 Yes/No~ when one side is happy because they got what they wanted and the other is sad because they didn't get what they wanted. 0 No/No~ when neither side is happy because nobody got what they wanted (you know the sort of thing, when mum or dad step in and say that no-one gets anything, because you can't work out your problem!)
Cooperate and Be a Team Player 0 “Greater than the sum of its individual parts” 0 What does this quotes? 0 Cooperation doesn’t mean you will just comply to others, you think first (does this benefit everyone? ) 0 Negotiation is key to success, give and take 0 Use words and keep cool 0 Focus on the fact that the team want the same thing and work together to obtain it
Support and Include Others 0 “Walk in my shoes” 0 Compassion 0 Sympathy- harmony of or agreement in feeling, as between persons or on the part of one person with respect to another. 0 Empathy- the intellectual identification with or vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another.
Value Family Life 0 Looking after our family helps the bond of love grow stronger. If we value family life, our family will always be there to support and protect us. 0 However, not all family relationships are healthy and just like friends these relationships need work. 0 For families there is external help like family counselling and social work
