PBIS:  EMPATHY How to be a good Friend 

Show Empathy by treating others the way you want to be treated and ask yourself, is this hurtful or helpful?  Remember the 30 seconds or less rule:  YOUR WORDS MATTER. 

THINK: T: Is this True? H: is this helpful?, I: is this inspiring?, N: is this information necessary? K: is this kind?

Let’s spread empathy and kindness at Edison.
