The power of positive communication
This poster highlights the power of positive communication and shows older children (and teens) how to choose words that can please others instead of those that can hurt.
Teachers can use the poster to practice empathic communication in the classroom and foster an atmosphere of mutual respect. You can discuss with children situations in which it is important to think about what we say and how kind words can positively affect interpersonal relationships. You can use the posters with younger and older pupils. They promote expected behaviour in pupils and are based on the PBIS Positive Behaviour Support System.
