Listening to Others

Steps

1. Look at the Person Who is Talking.

2. Sit or stand quietly; avoid fidgeting, yawning, or giggling.

3. Wait until the person is finished speaking before you speak.

4. Show that you understand (say "Okay," "Thanks," or "I see").

Discussion

1. Why is it important to look at the person who is talking?

2. When are the times you should practice listening skills? Should you do this with friends? Family? Only at School?

3. Why should you wait to speak until after the other person finishes.
