MY DAILY LIFE
• Choosing my clothes
• What I will eat for lunch & dinner (with responsibilities)
• Privacy (with responsibilities)
• To say NO (with responsibilities)
• RESPECT: being willing to wait until I express my thought – it might take a little longer than expected
MY Special Mark on the World• Every single person is like one piece of a big puzzle
• We each make our special mark on this world.
• What is your special talent?
• Ideas of phrases for your bag:• I am my own secret weapon
• I am passionately curious
• A winner who never quits
• Not perfect but moving forward
• It starts with a dream
• I am fabulous!
• Always inspiring
What is a right?• Something that belongs to me because I am a person with a voice,
with things I like & don’t like.
• Something I do not have to earn
• A freedom that is protected by the law
It’s Not About Me Without Me
B U T there’s more …
Rights and Responsibilities: they go togetherI have a right to . . . I have a responsibility . . .
FREE SPEECHI can say what I want
RESPECTFUL SPEECHDon’t use words to hurt others
TO SPEND MY $$fast or slow
SAFETY & PRIVACY I can have some alone
time in my room
$$ MONEY $$Wait patiently for my next
month’s allowance
PRIVACYNot ignore my friends
You have the Right to Privacy
You have the responsibility to respect other people’s Right to Privacy too.
KNOCK FIRST
What Opportunities for Actions?
• Name 1 PERSON who is important to you and WHY they are special• Do you want to have more contact with certain family members? Previous
friends?• How might I get in touch with someone I have not seen for a long time? • Who am I strongly connected to through work, school, church, or other parts of my
community?
Name 1 new PLACE you want to visit. Who will you take? How will you get there? When are they open?
• Name 1 new HOBBY or INTEREST you want to try. • Who will take you? What if I find I don’t have anything in common with them?
