Thank you Susan for this meaningful activity. It will be perfect to demonstrate to the students how people have different perspectives and that is acceptable.
Dear Susan,
Greetings from Istanbul.
I loved all your videos. They have made me enter into a totally new world and I am utterly grateful for it. Thank you.
lovely thank you.
exercises that are simple and draws us to be attentive.
is it a duck or is it a rabbit? It s easy for me to understand others point of view, but difficult to handle the behavior which is hurting me, like rejection for example…
These are awesome tools to use with students as well as teachers.
My deepest thanks, Susan. Everything you offer is so useful and so clear. Best wishes from Germany. Where can I get the equipment you are using? Can I get it at all? The cards……..
