Dear NAC Elementary Families,
During the month of February, we will be learning about Habit #5: Seek first to understand, then to be understood. This habit is about listening before you speak. Here are the main points that you can discuss with your child:
● I listen to others without interrupting.
● I raise my hand and wait to be called on instead of blurting out.
● I try to understand how other people are feeling.

Dear NAC Families,
During the month of January, we will be learning about Habit #4: Think
Win-Win. This habit is about how a solution can be beneficial to everyone. Here are
the main points that you can discuss with your child:
● When issues come up with a friend, I can problem solve to find a solution
that benefits both of us.
● I consider what other people want instead of just thinking about what I
want.
● I think of ways to help everyone be happy.
