As we approach the end of the year students can become tired and may show signs of frustration with their peers more quickly than what they have in the past. This can result in words being said in anger, annoyance or disappointment. It is really important that we encourage the children to take some time to T.H.I.N.K because their words have power. This acronym is explained below:

True: Is what I am going to say true? Are my words true?

Helpful: Is what I am going to say helpful? Are my words helpful?

Inspiring: Is what I am going to say inspiring to others? Are my words inspiring and positive?

Necessary: Do I need to say these words? Do my thoughts always need to be words?

Kind: Are my words kind? How do my words affect the thoughts, actions and feelings of others?
