Friends:Conflict Resolution/Listening
I can be a better listener! I will use the techniques learned in HEART class to be a better listener, and will put these techniques to use when resolving a conflict.
Today in HEART class we talked about being a good listener. We know that in order to be a good listener one needs to let the other person talk while making eye contact as much as possible. If possible, comment on what the speaker just said to let them know that you heard them and care about what they are saying.
