The Character Trait for November is CARING. 

 

TVCS students will be introduced and taught the following social skills this month:

 

Week 1-2: Greeting Others 

Week 3-4: Appropriate Voice Tone

 

Parents can practice and/or review these skills with their child at home and in the community. Here are the steps to:

 

Greeting Others

1) Look at the person

2) Use a pleasant voice

3) Say “Hi” or “Hello”

Appropriate Voice Tone

1) Look at the person you are talking to.

2) Listen to the level and quality of the voice tone you are speaking with.

3) Lower your voice (if necessary) so that it isn’t too loud or harsh.

4) Speak slowly. Think about what you want to say.

5) Concentrate on making your voice sound calm, neutral, or even pleasant and happy.

6) Avoid shouting, whining, or begging.

When your child demonstrates the appropriate social skill for greeting others and using the appropriate voice tone, he/she is demonstrating caring behaviors. Reward your child with positive praise (i.e. "good job", pat on the back, thumbs-up, etc.) when he/she demonstrates the skill.
