Comm 150 7:45 am All comments here for Valentine's Week!


Don't miss the 90 year old American Dog Derby this Saturday morning thru afternoon in downtown Ashton. Take your camera and win serious money for good photos!

Today we talked about the Maturity Continuum and Habits 1-3. We also discussed how our maturity might impact listening, relationships and parenting.

We showed "Dances with Wolves" and talked about the Native American practice of using a talking stick for more active listening.

Your blog post should talk about at least two key principles and how they could apply in your life. You should also teach them to someone close to you within the first 24 hours of class. If you teach before you post, you should include something about the teaching experience in your post. If you teach after your post, go back in and edit your post to add what resulted from teaching the principles from class.

Please remember--Post on your blog, then add a coment to this blog which has the link to your blog. Make your comment an overview, in 5 lines or less, of your blog--one that will attract others to visit your blog!

If you're still having problems blogging, go to "www.google.com" and enter "how to blog" or go to "www.blogger.com" and go through the items in the help menu/tutorial so you can do it--or go to the library and ask one of the roving computer TA's in one of the student-use computers how to get it done!

Your posts will now be due no later than 3 pm the night before class so that others will have time to read your blog and comment on it!

Then post your comments to at least two other blogs.

today's blog overviews the ideas of the maturity scale, where we should place our blame, and new qualifiers to use with empathic listening. [my blog]

My blog consists of the ability and necessity to change from a state of complete dependence to independence and how that could essentially resolve to interdependence.

Scripture: 1 Nephi 11:17, We will never understand everything but we must always remember that God loves us.

Today in class we acted out a number of role plays dealing with relationship experiences. Role play ranged from dealing with mother in laws to dealing with a bad first date. Overall, I was able to gain some more understanding on the importance of emphatic listening.

Today's blog comments on applying the "rewind" principle, going back to old conversations to better apologize for past mistakes.

Diana, Jeremy & Gracie Smithson said...

Wednesday's blog talks about how we can be a better person as a listen and not take things so personally so that we don't expect people to come back and apologize to us for things that they have done in the past.

class on wednesday was interesting to see and hear about the different relationships that people in class had been through or had friends who went through different types of relationships. of course, at the end of class it was good to watch and listen to the continuing saga of the mother n law and the son in law and what is the best way to handle that.

Bridging the Gap of the Threshold Capacity
My blog talks about how changes in your life force your threshold up or down depending on how you deal with it. I also talked about how dependence and independence also influence the way that you are able to deal with change.
