Study Hall
- What was this assignment about?
- Discuss the following quote: “As I think about (effective communication) in terms of parenting children, I’m finding that it’s shifting my perspective a bit. Instead of approaching conversations in a “teach them how to communicate/solve problems” way, I’m thinking about it in a “discovery” context. Discover what they are thinking and feeling and how that is shaping their perspective.
- Debate the perception question: When is a lie, NOT about a lie?
