Showing Appreciation
Show appreciation frequently
Be appreciative of invisible work
Behavior is contagious
Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2014. All rights reserved. 15
Showing your appreciation to other family members should be frequent and short. A simple “thank you” can go a long way. Be appreciative of invisible work. Invisible work consists of tasks that get done for you when you don’t ask, such as your laundry that your mom might do. Another example is realizing that groceries don’t just show up in your refrigerator and that someone goes to the grocery store and buys them. Show your family members that you appreciate the things they do for you by saying, “Thank you.” Behavior is contagious. When you show others that you appreciate them, they will do the same for you.

Affection is showing other family

and offer your love unconditionally

Affection is showing other family members that you care about them. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways. • Expressing love – Understand what affection means to the other person and offer your love
unconditionally. • It is important to realize that each family member sees affection differently. Your little
brother might not go for a hug, but to him a high five means a great deal. • Your mother, on the other hand, might understand that you care for her or appreciate her
when you give her a hug or tell her that you love her. • Offer a hug. • Listening to a family member can be a form of affection. Why? • Offer positive verbal praise and support. Can you give me some examples of positive verbal
praise and support?
