CEPS Kids are
Friendly Kids
This term we are working on CO-OPERATION
and next week we are looking at
Suggesting & Persuading
Don’t be a ‘bossy boots.’
Use good ideas and good reasons instead.
People don’t like being around other people who give orders, criticise all the time and are bossy when they try to make people do things. The best way to convince others to do what you want and to co-operate with you, is to make suggestions and give good reasons for your suggestions. A suggestion allows others the choice of agreeing to do what you would like or not.
When SUGGESTING remember to:
- Make a suggestion in a polite voice, make it sound like you are asking a question.
- You could make your suggestion in one of the following ways:
- Why don’t we…
- Let’s…
- Perhaps we could…
- Let’s try…
- How about…
- Maybe we could…
- Give good reasons for why it is a good idea.
When SUGGESTING remember NOT to:
- Be bossy
- Order people about
- Criticise others
- Get angry if others don’t like your idea
