Importance of (RET)
Meaning (Respect, Empathy, Tolerance)
That girl you called fat is starving herself, the boy you mocked for crying..his mum died, that person you pushed is already getting abused at home. What goes around comes back around right? This is what happens when we aren't using respect, empathy and tolerance.
Respect
Its crucial that we are kind and respectful to everyone. Research says even the most happiest person you know is having a battle with anxiety & depression. Respect is a special skill that rarely takes part in our lives. So we need to change that and start learning to not only respect others but yourself as well (Aka) Self love. If you don't learn to love/respect yourself first,then how will you learn to respect others? Favor your insecurities because we are all imperfectly perfect.
Empathy
Be understanding, caring and kind. Basically put yourself in someone else's shoes. Eg: Your friend comes to school with an empty lunchbox. Instead of mocking her/him try and feel what she/he feels and see if you can help them. It is all about feeling and understanding the other person.
Tolerance
The meaning of tolerance is to be open minded and think before you speak. Most of you might have heard the phrase “I don't tolerate your behavior” yes? Well maybe we should think about what we have done wrong and fix it.
Using these 3 qualities not only benefits ourselves but our surroundings as well.
This week for writing we have been focusing on practising writing an explanation. We all did the topic of 2 qualitys aka (Respect, empathy & Tollerence) Firstly we started of by doing reasearch then started our planning. Finally we had the chance to write our explation & it had to be complete by 30mins time. I found this not only fun but a bit challenging.
