Treating People Well

Worksheet Description

The “Treating People Well” Life Skills worksheet is an educational resource designed to promote empathy and respectful communication among students. It focuses on the concept of the “golden rule” – treating others as one would like to be treated. The worksheet provides a space for students to reflect on their personal experiences and preferences regarding interactions with others.

The worksheet is divided into two main sections where students are invited to write down what behaviors they appreciate or find upsetting when engaging with others. These sections help students to identify and articulate their feelings about positive and negative interactions. Additionally, there is a space dedicated to self-reflection on mistakes, prompting students to consider how they prefer others to react when they err, and to contrast this with reactions they find unhelpful or hurtful. This reflective activity encourages students to develop a deeper understanding of their own reactions and to foster a more empathetic approach towards others. By completing this worksheet, students are guided to practice the fundamental social skill of empathy, which is essential for building healthy and positive relationships.
