✨🎄 December Habit Spotlight: Habit 5 – Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood! 🎄✨

This month we’re focusing on Habit 5, a powerful reminder that listening—truly listening—is one of the best gifts we can give each other. 💛

Encourage your family to use Leader in Me language at home:
👂 Listen with your eyes, ears, and heart.
💬 Make sure you really understand before you respond.
🤝 Show empathy, patience, and kindness in every conversation.

When we seek to understand first, we build stronger relationships and a more peaceful home and school community. 🌟

Let’s model Habit 5 all month long!
