I'VE GOT TO TALK TO THEM (3:01) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FgvbI9ZKA4&list=OLAK5uy_kw6aTs5dEm_UxrS59m1RBnyW8zCDMLZ7E&index=6 https://betterworld.bandcamp.com/track/principle-4-know-and-do-what-is-right-even-if-it-is-difficult-song-ive-got-to-talk-to-them Think and Share Invitations * Think and share about a time when you and another person had a conflict that involved hurt feelings, and perhaps a misunderstanding. * Please share about how talking about it, sharing feelings, and careful listening resolved the problem, or at least managed the conflict in helpful way. * Why do you think it is important to talk about your problems, and what people in your life help you do that? CHORUS: I've got to talk to them, talk about it, talk, talk, talk. It's amazing what talking can do! (sing CHORUS 3 more times) (1) When someone says or does something I don't like, I've got to talk to them about it; not get into a fight. So I'll say, "Please don't...!" and tell them how I feel. I may find they didn't do what I thought they did, for real. CHORUS (SUNG 4 TIMES) (2) When a problem with someone has got me feeling mad, I won't bottle up my anger or explode with no control, I won't take it out on others---that's just as bad. So what could I do? Well, I've found it's often true... CHORUS (SUNG 4 TIMES) (3) One great way to resolve a conflict, I have seen Is when I share what I feel and how I think, And I'm willing to listen to the other side. Fighting makes a problem larger; talking cuts it down to size! CHORUS (SUNG 4 TIMES) Lyrics by Linda K. Williams with Patricia Mikkelson Words and music copyright 1990 by Linda K.

EYES OF COMPASSION: A TRAUMA-INFORMED LENS SONG (1:33) https://betterworld.bandcamp.com/track/what-does-this-student-need-or-want-eyes-of-compassion-a-trauma-responsive-lens-song-to-watch-the-music-video-click-on-this-songs-title-and-look-below-the-words-buy-the-full-digital-album Bonus Resource: Please enjoy this powerful YouTube slideshow created by Cara Clancy (lyrics on screen): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_7Wik2gPfE Think and Share Invitations * Without using any names, think and share about a time when someone's words or actions resulted in your thinking, "What's wrong with him/ her?" * Now, see if you can picture them in your mind and wonder out loud about what might have happened to them --- what they may have seen / heard / felt that caused trauma in their lives. That's what we call "looking at a person through a trauma-informed lens." * Think and share about a time you treated yourself with "self-compassion" -- that is, to treat yourself as you would treat a good friend who is going through a hard time. * Think of a time when you were dealing with some kind of trauma, and you were glad that someone treated you with patience and understanding, and let you know they cared about you and supported you, and helped you build resilience. 1 When you look at me, please remember to keep in mind that you don't know what you don't know about me... what's happened to me. 2 You haven't seen what my eyes have seen, you haven't heard what my ears have heard, you haven't felt what my body and soul have felt so deeply. 3 Looking with eyes of compassion, listening with open heart and mind, can help healing, hope, and resilience take root and grow. 4 Thank you for wondering what's happened to me instead of asking, "What's wrong with you?" Thank you for helping me process my pain and move towards joy... move towards joy. Lyrics © 2019 by Linda K. Williams Tune: "Hey, Ho, Anybody Home?" (Traditional) Linda.BetterWorld@gmail.com BetterWorld-Resources.com I wish to express my profound appreciation to the San Diego Trauma Informed Guide Team for their role in embracing and sharing this song. https://www.acesconnection.com/ And, I especially want to thank Ms. Dana Brown, Organizational Liaison, ACEs Connection and ACEs Science Statewide Facilitator, Learn4Life, for her beautiful idea of adding a 4th verse incorporating gratitude.

Williams, copyright 2014 Think and Share Invitations * Think and share about a time when you “put yourself in someone else’s shoes.” How did doing that help in the situation? How did you feel, and what did you say or do to let them know you had empathy for them? * Sometimes people say, “I hear you!” or “I get you!” or “I feel you!” In what ways are those the same as – or different from – “putting yourself in someone else’s shoes”? * Think and share about a time when you offered to help someone with a problem they were having – a burden they were carrying – and how you and they felt about your making that offer. 1 Can you put yourself in someone else's shoes? Can you think of how they're feeling -- what they need? When we show that we care, their burdens we can share. Can you put yourself in someone else's shoes? 2 Can you put yourself in someone else's shoes? Can you think of how they're feeling -- what they need?

Can you think of how they're feeling -- what they need? It's a wonderful feeling to know somebody cares! Can you put yourself in someone else's shoes?
