1. What do you See?
By Sapna Patel

2. WHAT? Paradigm- “way we see, understand, and interpret the world” (1)
Kids absorb what they see every day.
WHAT do you see:
-in a situation (ex. Driver cuts you off)
-about yourself
-about others
WHAT effects these views:
Society & Cultural Norms/Conformity
Environment
Personal experiences
Based off role models & what is taught

3. WHY? WHY change what you see?
-Situations/People are not always as they seem
-Shifting perspective helps understand the way we can treat others
-Children & adults are both shaped by their role models
If you knew the situation, would you act & feel differently?
If you put yourself in someone else’s shoes, would you feel the same?

4. How? Learn to shift your paradigm by seeing the bigger picture
Apply empathy to understand the situation
Assume positive intent
Keep an open mind & be that role model

5. In Conclusion….
“If you want to make minor changes in your life, work on your behavior. But if you want to make significant, quantum breakthroughs, work on your paradigms.” -Stephen Covey
