November's "Word of the Month": Acceptance

We have been working on changing our language when we describe something that is unfamiliar or that we do not understand.  You can practice at home, too.

 

Words that do not show Acceptance:             Words that show Acceptance:

 

Weird                             ----------->                Interesting

Ugly                               ----------->                 Unique

Eww                              ----------->                  Different

Gross                              ----------->                "What is that?" (in a kind tone of voice)

Strange                           ----------->                  Cool 

 

*Asking questions about something (in a kind way) is a great way to learn more about something and show greater acceptance.
