Skills Manual Unit Seven Bundle for Teachers and Therapists
Caring About Others
Knowledge of others, checking and observing are on the radar. Unit 7 builds on the groundwork of previous units with knowledge and skills about relationships, feelings, thoughts and social situations culminating in an understanding of how to engage in friendships. Knowledge and understanding of this process enables the learner the freedom of choice to engage in friendships or not. Interactions with others occur inevitably, and these interactions must be conducted with empathy, even when friendship is not favoured. Consideration for others and theory of mind is essential in life. These essential themes are carried through this unit.
How we treat others incorporates social and moral obligations. The boundaries involved in right and wrong are investigated, exploring the starting point of a single choice and how choices snowball into a chain of events; in turn these events can be investigated as a logical cause and affect scenario. Links between truth and trust are explored and subsequently linked to our moral obligation as citizens.
Observations are taken a step further. In past units the observation of others has been explored. Now, this concept is turned around to evaluate what others are seeing when they observe us. Do they see someone they can trust? What kind of character do I portray and are the qualities I exhibit always showing my true colours?
Reciprocal language skills are developed in this unit. Both expressive and receptive language skills are necessary for friendship and interactions with others. Many of the potential communication of this kind of relationship is explored; empathy, consideration and respect are key elements.
