Week One Question: Think about a time someone has helped you.  What characteristics did that person demonstrate that were the most helpful?  What characteristics that you saw in that person would you most like to develop or enhance?

Week One Homework: Practice Silence. This does not mean you don’t say anything but that you practice resisting talking a lot while encouraging the other person to talk with encouragers such as “mmhmm” or other encouraging noises.  Find three situations in which you would normally be talking a lot and practice saying little.  This may be when your child tells you about their day and you pepper them with questions, or may be with a coworker or friend.  Write a paragraph about how each experience was different than it might normally have been. (Submit this on a separate sheet)
