Do you know what a Social Filter is?

Occasionally Mrs. Wright and I have students or classes who need reminders about what their "Social Filter" is. Do you know what it is?

We all have TONS of thoughts in our brains at all times, but our social filter helps us to decide which ones should stay in our brains and which ones are okay to say out loud. I demonstrated this to a G5 class using sand and pebbles. The mean words and phrases stayed in the filter while the kind or socially acceptable words were fine enough to go through the filter. Making sure our social filter is turned on helps us to have friends and get along with others.
Want to learn more or read a great book on this topic with your children? 
We recommend this book by Julia Cook
