After the first day of our SEL training, I came away from the experience with an appreciation for all those in the group. It was heartening to observe how everyone listened when we each shared our feelings and thoughts. Coincidentally, I came across this article the next day on the importance of listening. These principles are a good reminder for me and I think will also provide me with ways to help the children listen to each other which can be very difficult at times when they want to share their "side of the story."
