DECENCY is all about: Active listening Better understanding Compassion NATIONAL DECENCY DAY on May 14th celebrates the basic standard of civility that every American deserves. DECENCY is a non-partisan grassroots movement that was launched to inspire decency in everyday life – in both conversations and action. By raising awareness, the movement aims to encourage schools and local community groups to embrace DECENCY and integrate it into both curriculum plans and service projects. Our children need role models. If we can all be civil with one another, we are setting the right example. HOW TO OBSERVE On National Decency Day, be mindful about learning to really listen while someone is talking to you. Appreciate where the other person is coming from and the respect will be returned. Act and react with civility. Start a conversation with “What does Decency mean to you?” Order DECENCY buttons and stickers to wear and share. Encourage your school or local association to become a DECENCY partner #NationalDecencyDay Repost @maketaketeach 💕 (at Grand Haven, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxcNRhMBXnk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bv4qe2tswda2
