What Happens When We Don't Listen?

Sometimes, when someone is talking to us, we might not pay attention. This is called not listening.

Let’s think about what happens when we don’t listen:

• Missing Important Information: If a teacher tells you to clean up your toys and you are not listening, you might forget to do it!
• Getting in Trouble: If your parent asks you to be careful near the street and you don’t listen, it could be unsafe!
• Friends Feel Upset: If a friend is talking and you don’t listen, they might feel sad because they want to share things with you.

But there are good things when we do listen:

• Learning New Things: When we listen, we can learn about fun stuff like stories and games.
• Staying Safe: Listening helps us stay safe and make good choices.
• Making Friends Happy: If we listen to our friends, they will feel happy and want to play with us.

So, remember, listening is very important! It helps us have fun, stay safe, and be good friends.
