Social Intelligence (SI) is the ability to successfully build relationships and navigate social environments.
Our society puts a huge emphasis on book smarts and IQ, but our relationships effect a much bigger part of our lives.
Social smarts are far more important than your book smarts.
Building strong social relationships is worth the effort:
Strong relationships improve our immune system and help combat disease.
Loneliness and weak relationships are one of the major sources of stress, health problems and depression.
Our relationships affect every area of our lives–from colleagues to spouses to friends to kids.
The term ping chang xin is comprised of three characters which, when put together, refer roughly to "peace of mind" or "spiritual stability.“
Ping has numerous meanings, but the closest English equivalent is "level" or "even" as we would use it in saying that someone is "level-headed.”
Chang is more precise and means "always," "constant," or "continually.”
Xin is the character which means "heart" both figuratively and literally.
It refers not only to the actual organs which pumps blood, but to the emotions and character; the whole inner essence of the person.
Reactions-It is instinctual to act /say/write/behave stemming from the subconscious mind without filtering process running on auto-pilot without thinking first and considering its implications
Reactions are like a puppy who hasn’t been trained.
That untrained puppy is going to bark at every dog it sees, jump at every passing neighbor, and then he’ll eat your dinner … as soon as he sees it.
Responses –Are more thoughtful, first explore in mind the possible outcomes, weighing the pros and cons and considering what would be best in the situation.
Responses are more like the well-trained and well-behaved dog who comes when you call him, barks only when there’s a reason to bark, and waits patiently for his treat.
Exasperation is good--the question is when and how fast?
Exasperation may be considered as a fundamental, natural and useful and probably productive human response.
It’s not just deep in our roots; it is our roots.
Those who discard it express with edicts like “don’t get snarky,” or “don’t call names” or “don’t interrupt me.”
Though against our will we have proliferated endless repertoire of ways to say “I’ve had it. I won’t go along with that.”
Exasperated way to express “nope,” in many words and gestures--subtle or blatant branch like tree roots.
Exasperation with things that get in our way is how we stand our ground rooted in our aspirations, commitments, beliefs and values.
When our roots get in each other’s way, we’re likely to get exasperated and then exasperated with each other’s exasperations.
Then we try to block each other’s exasperations by imposing seemingly rock-solid moral bans on one or another form exasperation takes.
Self-esteem refers to a person’s overall sense of his or her value or worth. It can be considered a sort of measure of how much a person “values, approves of, appreciates, prizes, or likes him or herself” (Adler & Stewart, 2004).
According to Morris Rosenberg, self-esteem is quite simply one’s attitude toward oneself (1965). “favourable or unfavourable attitude toward the self”.
Various factors believed to influence our self-esteem include:
Genetics
Personality
Life experiences
Age
Health
Thoughts
Social circumstances
The reactions of others
Comparing the self to others
Self-esteem is not fixed .We can test for and improve upon it.
Character-The traits that shape us remain fairly stable over time, making them the closest thing we have to a crystal ball.
Under mentioned information can be obtained by six key domains or clues to character of yourself and others
Take an inventory of yourself,
Gauge the suitability of a partner,
Glimpse what a friendship might hold, or
Preview a child's trajectory
Six broad domains are
Intelligence,
Drive,
Sociability,
Capacity for intimacy,
Happiness, and
Goodness.
Under mentioned five simple exercises can help you recognize, and start to shift, the mind-sets that limit your potential as a leader.
1. Find your strengths
2. Practice the pause
3. Forge trust
4. Choose your questions wisely
5. Make time to recover

The Theory of Cognitive Mode -A new way of thinking about thinkingCol Mukteshwar Prasad
Theory of Cognitive Modes is a new way of understanding thought and behavior.
Based on an anatomical division of the brain – but not the division of the brain into its left and right halves.
The brain is physically divided in to two halves i.e. Left and Right , but there is no solid scientific basis for the popular notion of psychology that has resulted:
Left side is “logical and analytical” and
Right is “intuitive and creative,” and
Any individual is characterized by one side than the other.
The key to theory is another division of the brain: into its
Top and
Bottom parts.
Personality development is actually the development from the organized pattern of attitudes and behaviors which makes an individual distinctive. A quick definition could be, personality is composed of the characteristic designs of feelings, behaviors and thoughts which make a person special.
Carl Rogers' theory is crudely offered in picture form, with incorporation of 'Presence', 'Relational Depth' and 'Configurations of Self'.
I hope you will offer constructive feedback that will lead to further development and refinement of the presentation.

This is a very brief summary of the principles of Nonviolent Communication, as outlined in the book Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life by Marshall Rosenberg. Also called "compassionate communication," NVC should be of interest to anyone who is interested in better communication and conflict resolution, including professionals in the fields of mediation, counseling, legal representation, social work, and negotiation. A trainer in Nonviolent Communication has agreed to come to Columbia, South Carolina, and conduct a two day training in April of 2014. The principles which underlie this method of communicating have potential to transform relationships for the better. It is also expected to qualify for continuing professional education credit for professionals in the fields of law, social work, and counseling. There will be a fee, but it will be reasonable. Please contact me if you are interested in further information.
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a type cognitive therapy first used by Albert Ellis which focuses on resolving emotional and behavioral problems. The goal of the therapy is to change irrational beliefs to more rational ones.
REBT encourages a person to identify their general and irrational beliefs (e.g. I must be perfect") and subsequently persuades the person to challenge these false beliefs through reality testing.

RESPONSE 1
Respond
to at least 2 colleagues by expanding on evidence in support of play therapy.
Colleague 1: Christine
There are many ways play therapy can benefit children and in this case 6 year old Claudia. As children experience trauma service providers may also have difficulty with young children and self disclosure. Here is the list that I came up with after reviewing this discussion resources in relation to how this approach can benefit:
1) Creating a safe space to explore with safety can hold children accountable for responsible behaviors while developing successful insight to harness positive strategies to cope.
2) Children can also benefit as they learn new solutions toward dealing with issues while learning skills to express new and old emotion.
3) There can be a gained awareness to self; understanding thoughts and emotions.
4) Children can learn new social skills as they work with their provider and how to relate to self through creativity. Also, gaining communication skills as they use various forms of play therapy.
5) Children may also develop an awareness toward new and old abilities using a strength-based approach toward therapy.
Another form of play therapy that I am fond of while working with children is storytelling. It isn't for all children specifically concentrating on those that feel comfortable opening up and speaking to others. Storytelling has been beneficial to me while working with children in the past as it has revealed fear and anxieties. Utilizing different platforms of storytelling, self disclosure can build various survival strategies in children as they explore different situations through actions, movements, and changes. (Chiesa, 2012, pp 5)
Overall I feel strongly play therapy in all forms whether it be art therapy, role playing, non-directive/directive play, can promote healing, through self expression of feelings. It can also encourage children to build creative ways to deal with current and future trauma, and allow the development of healthy decision-making.

Play therapy can be beneficial because Claudia is a young child who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and saw a mugging which caused her to be fearful, and develop anxiety. Play therapy helps the child to relax and the child is interested in playing with the toys in the sand. The sand can help the child relax and the toys can help the child create her own world. Usually, children will repeat behaviors or experiences during play. This can help the social worker assess the magnitude of trauma or abuse the child has experienced. This also makes it easier for the child to talk about their trauma or experiences. Play therapy helps children address and resolve their own problems. Play therapy helps to communica ...

In a world filled with constant distractions and external influences, it's easy to lose sight of ourselves. But amidst the chaos, there exists a profound tool that can transform our lives—the power of self-awareness
Self-awareness, at its core, is the ability to introspect and recognize our own thoughts, emotions, and actions. It's like holding up a mirror to our souls, allowing us to gain insight into who we are, what we value, and why we behave the way we do. By cultivating self-awareness, we open doors to self-discovery, personal development, and meaningful connections with others.
This presentation provides a comprehensive overview of how to develop self-awareness. It covers key aspects such as what self-awareness is, why cultivating self-awareness is important, and proven ways to develop it.

What are your basic assumptions about human nature?
My basic assumption about human nature is that even though none of us are perfect, we all strive for our own idea of perfection. By working too much towards how we think we should be it can cause stress, anxiety, depression and other mental health issues and often these are the root cause of them. Humans are beautifully imperfect and while, yes, oftentimes we all have behaviors to be altered, we need to embrace ourselves with love and kindness. It is easy to give someone else our love, patience and kindness, but if we turn that inward we can be the best version of ourselves, perfect or not.
Which approach to therapy is closest to your beliefs about human nature?
The therapy that is closest to my beliefs about human nature is existential therapy. "Existential therapy focuses on exploring themes such as mortality, meaning, freedom, responsibility, anxiety, and aloneness as these relate to a person’s current struggle." (Corey, 2013). Existential therapy looks at the bigger picture of humanity and encourages celebration and appreciation of our successes rather than focusing on downfalls.
In what ways do you believe that your basic assumptions might determine the procedures that you would use when working with clients?
My basic assumptions will help me to focus on the good in my clients and not the negative that they themselves may focus on. It will give me a better understanding of why people feel their own shortcomings and how to show them that there is good and valuable qualities in everyone.
Monique post
When you look into the mirror, you are checking how you appear, and how you feel and whether it matches. Human nature is the sum of our whole species looking in the mirror. Human nature includes 3 core characteristics shared by all individuals; feelings, behaviors, and psychology. Our experiences with humans are different. Some view humans as good or bad or capable of great kindness. These views can be clouded by what our culture tells us and by people's influences in our lives. In western cultures, our discussions usually begin with classical Greece; Aristotle and Plato (Claudia, 2021).
My basic assumptions about human nature is that we can survive from our past and that humans are generally kind creatures and extremely resilient. I believe that humans construct their reality. They do not have to be destined to a certain life based solely on their past circumstances. We have the ability to overcome mountains of challenges with proper thinking and behaviors. We are responsible creatures for our choices and can therefore change and become something. I am proof of these assumptions. My teenage years were so bad that I lost my identity and lacked the proper social developments that most teens have. According to Corey, (2013.

Emotional Intelligence 2.0 , a self-help book by Travis Bradberry and Jean Greaves, provides a toolkit and guide for readers to increase their emotional intelligence (EQ), which the writers say can be a benefit in business and personal relationships.
LIFE SKILLS - are the abilities for adaptive and positive behavior that enable individuals to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life.
Core areas of life skills are:
1. Critical Thinking
2. Decision Making
3. Problem Solving
4. Thinking Globally
5. Communication
6. Interpersonal Relation
7. Empathy
8. Self Awareness
9. Coping with emotion
10. Coping with stress
Education must prepare young children to face the challenges of life. However, it generally does not happen as the behavioral aspects are neglected. So, there is a need to develop life skills among children so that they can apply the knowledge they acquire from school to real-world problems and situations.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Leaders are often faced with ethical conundrums(a confusing and difficult problem or question). So how can they determine when they’re inching toward dangerous territory? There are three main psychological dynamics that lead to crossing moral lines.
There’s omnipotence: when someone feels so aggrandized and entitled that they believe the rules of decent behavior don’t apply to them.
Consider cultural numbness: when others play along and gradually begin to accept and embody deviant norms.
Finally, when people don’t speak up because they are thinking of more immediate rewards, we see justified neglect.
Generally most people mean well, but simply execute their job poorly sometimes and sometimes, there are BAD bosses. We must learn “to Work "on Bad Boss
According to dictionary.com, “to work” something or someone is to put them into effective operation, to operate that thing or person for productive purposes.
Put your Bad Boss into effective operation to get whatever you want in your job or career by learning your boss’s secret desire and secret fear
Two biggest issues of Bad Boss are:
They can negatively impact our work performance.
They can make life miserable
We often hear “being difficult.” about Bad Boss. It’s hard to know exactly where the difficulty lie. All we know is it is difficult to work successfully with this person.
An incompetent person is someone who is
Functionally inadequate or
Insufficient in Knowledge, Skills, Judgment, or Strength
Mindset is a mental attitude that determines how we interpret and respond to situations.
Dweck has found that it is your mindset that plays a significant role in determining achievement and success.
A mindset refers to whether you believe qualities such as intelligence and talent are fixed or changeable traits.
People with a fixed mindset believe that these qualities are inborn, fixed, and unchangeable.
Those with a growth mindset, on the other hand, believe that these abilities can be developed and strengthened by way of commitment and hard work.
Story of Katalin Karikó, a researcher who won the Nobel prize for medicine for her work on modifying the RNA molecule to avoid triggering a harmful immune response is a classical example of mindset.
Yet, her life was full of rejection and doubt.
Her achievement had much to do with her mindset.
A theory is a based upon a hypothesis and backed by evidence.
A theory presents a concept or idea that is testable.
In science, a theory is not merely a guess.
A theory is a fact-based framework for describing a phenomenon.
In psychology, theories are used to provide a model for understanding human thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
Hence study of Psychology theory is essential for SSB and all types of Interviewas it helps us to understand our own developmental psychology.k
Personality theorists should study normal individuals
All behavior is interactive
The person must be studied in terms of interactions with their environment
The brain is the locus of personality
There is a biological basis to personality
Definition of Personality
1- Personality is an abstraction formulated by a theorist.
2- It refers to series of events that ideally span over life time from childhood to adulthood
3-It reflects novel, unique, recurrent and enduring patterns of behaviours – his education and training .
4- Personality is located in brain- imagination, perception
5.Personality comprises the person’s central organizing and governing processes, whose function is to
Resolve conflicts,
Satisfy needs, and
Plan for future goals.
” Emotions are complex psychological states involving three distinct components: a subjective experience, a physiological response, and a behavioral or expressive response”
"Discovering Psychology," by Don Hockenbury and Sandra E. Hockenbury
In 1972, psychologist Paul Ekman suggested that there are six basic emotions that are universal throughout human cultures: fear, disgust, anger, surprise, joy, and sadness.
In the 1980s, Robert Plutchik introduced another emotion classification system known as the wheel of emotions. This model demonstrated how different emotions can be combined or mixed together, much like the way an artist mixes primary colors to create other colors.
Plutchik proposed eight primary emotional dimensions: joy vs. sadness, anger vs. fear, trust vs. disgust, and surprise vs. anticipation.
These emotions can then be combined to create others, such as happiness + anticipation = excitement.
In 1999, Ekman expanded his list to include a number of other basic emotions, including embarrassment, excitement, contempt, shame, pride, satisfaction, and amusement
Anger is an intense emotion you feel when
Something has gone wrong or
Someone has wronged you.
It is typically characterized by feelings of
Stress,
Frustration, and
Irritation.
Anger is a perfectly normal response to frustrating or difficult situations.
Anger only becomes a problem when
It’s excessively displayed and
Begins to affect your daily functioning and the way you relate with people.
Anger can range in intensity, from a slight annoyance to rage.
It can sometimes be excessive or irrational.
In these cases, it can be hard to keep the emotion in check and could cause you to behave in ways you wouldn’t otherwise behave.
Cognitive distortions are
Negative or irrational patterns of thinking.
Simply ways that Impostor Syndrome convinces us to believe things that aren’t really true.
Inaccurate thought patterns that
Reinforce our negative self perception and
Keep us feeling bad about ourselves
These negative thought patterns can play a role in
Diminishing our motivation,
Lowering our self-esteem
Contributing to problems like
Anxiety,
Depression, and
Substance use.
Trauma Bonding is the attachment an abused person feels for their abuser, specifically in a relationship with a cyclical pattern of abuse.
Is created due to a cycle of abuse and positive reinforcement
After each circumstance of abuse, the abuser professes love, regret, and trying to make the relationship feel safe and needed for the abused person.
Hence Abused
Finds leaving an abusive situation confusing and overwhelming
Involves positive and/or loving feelings for an abuser
Also feel attached to and dependent on their abuser.
Emotional abuse involves controlling another person by using emotions to Criticize , Embarrass ,Shame ,Blame or
Manipulate .
To be abusive there must be a consistent pattern of abusive words and bullying behaviours that Wear down a person’s Self-esteem and Undermine Their mental health.
Most common in married relationships,
Mental or emotional abuse can occur in any relationship—including among
Friends
Family members and
Co-workers
Attachment-related patterns that differ between individuals are commonly called "attachment styles."
There seems to be an association between a person’s attachment characteristics early in life and in adulthood, but the correlations are far from perfect.
Many adults feel secure in their relationships and comfortable depending on others (echoing “secure” attachment in children).
Others tend to feel anxious about their connection with close others—or prefer to avoid getting close to them in the first place (echoing “insecure” attachment in children).
Borderline personality disorder, characterized by a longing for intimacy and a hypersensitivity to rejection, have shown a high prevalence and severity of insecure attachment.
Attachment styles in adulthood (similar to attachment patterns in children):
Secure
Anxious-preoccupied (high anxiety, low avoidance)
Dismissing-avoidant (low anxiety, high avoidance)
Fearful-avoidant (high anxiety, high avoidance)
Conduct disorder is an ongoing pattern of behaviour marked by emotional and behavioural problems.
Ways in which Children with conduct disorder behave are
Angry,
Aggressive,
Argumentative, and
Disruptive ways.
It is a diagnosable mental health condition that is characterized by patterns of violating
Societal norms and
Rights of others
It's estimated that around 3% of school-aged children have conduct disorder and require professional treatment .
It is more common in boys than in girls.
Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is a psychiatric disorder that typically emerges in childhood, between ages 6 and 8, and can last throughout adulthood.
ODD is more than just normal childhood tantrums
Frequency and severity of ODD causes difficulty at home and at school.
Children with ODD also struggle with learning problems related to their behavior.
Two types of oppositional defiant disorder:
Childhood-onset ODD:
Present from an early age

e-RUPI is a person and purpose-specific cashless e-voucher designed to guarantee
that the stored money value reaches its intended beneficiary and can only be used for
the specific benefit or purpose for which it was intended. The idea is to create a minimal
logistics, leak-proof delivery mechanism for a wide range of government Direct Benefit
Transfer (DBT) programs across the country. The digital e-voucher platform can also

The term ‘Moonlighting’ became popular in America when people started working a second job in addition to their regular 9-to-5 jobs. Since the rise of the work-from-home concept during the pandemic, employees got free time after work hours. While some took up their hobby in their free time, others started searching for part-time jobs. Especially in the IT industry, employees took up two jobs simultaneously and took advantage of the remote working model. This concept of working for two companies/organisations is referred to as moonlighting.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. Introduction
A child and adolescent clinical psychologist’s job is to help
people refine emotional toolbox together to
Find what tools and/or resources they already own
Explore which areas of their lives they'd like to
improve
Identify which tools and/or resources they need to get
there
Discover ways in which we can self-compassionately
add these resources to our toolbox
Toolbox for each individual is different (because each
person and the emotional needs they might have are
different)
But here are top five skills which everyone should have
3. Resilience
According to Psychology Today,
"resilience is that ineffable quality that allows
some people to be knocked down by life and come back
at least as strong as before... rather than letting
difficulties or failure overcome them and drain their
resolve, they find a way to rise from the ashes."
It's that skill that allows you to get through the rough
times and to find "the silver lining."
Where does this skill come from?
“resilience depends on supportive,
responsive relationships and mastering a set of
capabilities that can help us respond and adapt to
adversity in healthy ways,” says Dr. Jack Shonkoff, director
of the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard. “It’s those
capacities and relationships that can
turn toxic stress into tolerable stress.”
4. Resilience
Absence of these relationships makes building resilience
difficult.
The brain associates that danger and stress are present at all
times, making it impossible for the young child to deal with it in
a healthy way.
Four characteristics that can help build this necessary skill:
At least one caring and supportive relationship between
a child and caregiver
The person must feel able to have a degree of "control"
over life's difficulties.
A strong ability to self-regulate
A strong system of religious beliefs or faith
5. Creativity
Many studies have explained the link between creativity and mental illness.
But we must understand that there are many ways creativity boosts
our mental health and we can use it as an asset and a resource in
our toolbox.
A study published in the Creativity Research Journal explored the different
ways in which creativity influences our daily life.
According to the authors, "everyday creativity involves attacking day-
to-day activities in a divergent way: It derives from a complex
of cognitive, affective, personal, motivational, and social factors, and
is characterized by openness, flexibility, autonomy,
playfulness, humor, willingness to take risks, and perseverance.“
Thus creativity refers to the ability with which we tackle life's conundrums.
The way that we perceive our daily situations.
The perspective we use when we are feeling the unpleasant emotions
we so desperately want to get rid of.
The outlook we have on our jobs, our relationships, our inner world,
our emotions.
And how we pursue our goals.
6. Assertiveness
Assertiveness is an important and often overlooked skill to have in our
toolbox.
According to Psychology Today, it refers to "a social skill that relies
heavily on effective communication, while simultaneously respecting
the thoughts and wishes of others... people who are assertive
clearly and respectfully communicate their wants, needs, positions,
and boundaries to others."
For many people, this is easier said than done.
Often, we may struggle to express our unpleasant emotions,
especially to people close to us who have made us feel that way
(parents, children, partner, boss, close coworkers, friends).
When we are assertive, we communicate to others in a way that is
clear and empathetic.
We don't use violent language and don't resort to shaming to get our
message across.
On the contrary, when we are assertive, we communicate what we
need or want in such a way we can be respectful to others.
7. Assertiveness
A study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology Science
and Practice found that assertiveness training could be
potentially beneficial for people who tend to internalize their
emotions.
People who experience strong feelings of anxiety or
overwhelming sadness might benefit from working on
this particular skill for their emotional toolbox.
Besides helping us express our emotions, needs, and
desires in a healthy and clear way, it also has rippling
positive effects in our relationships, at home, and work.
8. Mental Flexibility
Have you ever had a situation where you have invested a lot of time to plan
something only to realize that the timing just doesn't work out for you?
How have you responded?
How have you dealt with it?
What did you end up doing?
How did you deal with that frustration?
The answers to these questions can help us identify how "flexible" your
thinking is.
If, for example:
You felt a tinge of frustration, but then quickly work towards re-arranging
those plans OR
You pulled yourself together to re-organize your plans OR
You expressed your frustration in a healthy way and then figured out a plan
B.
Then you are probably a flexible thinker.
That ability to discover a Plan B is what mental flexibility is all
about.
According to Dr. Clifford Lazarus, some ways you can increase that flexibility
are:
9. Self Awareness
This is the one that's often the most difficult to get, but when
practiced and incorporated into your toolbox can make the
refining of the other skills mentioned in this article much easier.
Self-awareness is the ability to pay attention to yourself,
your thoughts, actions, behaviors, emotions, and ways of
relating to other people to make an actionable
improvement.
From a self-compassion perspective, self-awareness is not
about nitpicking what's wrong with you and what needs to get
"fixed."
Rather, it's about looking at your inner world from a point
of curiosity and exploration.
Asking yourself, often and frequently, things like:
Are people perceiving me the way I'd like to be
perceived?
Am I communicating with people the way I'd like to?
10. Self Awareness
While also incorporating a self-compassionate lens that helps
you realize that, if any of these are not working out for you, it
is not your fault.
The way we relate to others is an extension of our early
relationships and what we received or did not receive
from our caregivers.
And, while there's always room for improvement, the
fact you take time to think about the way you relate to
others is remarkable on its own.
Self-awareness is opening yourself to the possibility of
looking at yourself–your upbringing, your inner world,
your coping mechanisms–before you look at others.
But, never forget to do it from a place of compassion,
patience, and understanding.
