CEPS Kids are Friendly Kids

This term we are working on COURTESY 

and next week we are looking at

Excuse Me/Sorry

Part of being a friendly kid is realising that from time to time you might inconvenience

others. You may not mean to, but sometimes this is unavoidable. When these

occasions do arise we all need to know how to handle them courteously.

If we have to interrupt somebody working, or perhaps two people talking, we should

begin by saying, “Excuse me,” and then quickly explain what is so important.

Of course before we interrupt, think! Do we really have to deal with the matter

immediately? Can it wait for a short time? Is it really important? If it is important, then

“Excuse me,” is the way to go. 

Occasionally too we make mistakes which inconvenience others. We might accidentally bump into someone, or not hold a door open for them, or interrupt them at the wrong time, or turn up late or all sorts of things. If these things do happen, quickly apologising by simply saying, “Sorry,” shows the other person that you really did not mean to inconvenience them.  Of course, try not to let it happen again. That’s really saying sorry. Try them out this week. Excuse me and Sorry.
