Accepting Criticism/Consequences

Steps

2. Say "OKAY"

3. Don't Argue

What Criticism Is Not or Should Not Be

• Things You Cannot Change or Control
• Mean Spirited

Activity

On a sheet of paper, write down some criticisms of yourself.  Try to be objective (as if you were a person who never met you before). 

Tonight when you go home, ask a friend or parent (someone you trust) about something you can do to improve an area of your life. (practice helps)
