What is being polite?
Being polite means, we care for the feelings of others. We do not use rude & nasty words even in anger. Let me explain this Our head has a “Thinking Bubble” & a “Talking Bubble”
Well, well this is a “Thinking Bubble” 👇
and this a “ Talking Bubble” 👇
Nina: There are so many thoughts which run in my mind.

Sunshine : Yes, I think a lot too. Like, I think of the sun, when will it be up and I can see all my friends, or what if the bees don’t come to have their fill of my nectar? (Well! this thought itself is scary)

Nina: We all think about many things in our mind throughout the day. But we have to be careful when we speak or talk about (express) these thoughts loudly.

Sunshine: yes, yes, I do talk to my bee friends. Thoughts can be good when you express them. They make others happy.
Boy: Hi your dress looks really nice. Girl: Thank you!!

Sunshine: Rude and unkind words hurt my friends and family
Talking Bubble
Everyone can hear these as I say them loudly.
Thinking Bubble
No one can hear these words, these are words in my head.
Sunshine : Before I speak out my thoughts I take it through my “Kind Net”
Here’s the kind net my brain is using.

Nina: “Kind Net”, What is a “Kind Net” Sunshine: Well, “Kind Net” is a net in my head through which I run my thoughts before I speak.
So, before the thoughts come to my “Talking Bubble” I check: • If what I am saying are kind words • They are not rude & nasty • They are not hurting others. • I don’t speak out secrets someone entrusted me with. • I am not constantly talking out loud when no one is around. • I am not humming, talking to myself constantly or when others are speaking to me. I sieve my thoughts in the “Kind Net” and only speak out good thoughts, and thoughts which are to be spoken out.
When I use the “Kind Net”, I am being Polite. I am also paying attention to what others are saying to me. I am caring about others feelings. My teachers, friends and family are also very happy. Nina: True Sunshine, A “Kind Net” makes you the super shine blossom .. and people love to have you around and be your friend.
