Tyaja Uses the THiNK Test

The Peace of Mind series is a kid-tested resource for social and emotional learning

Ms. Snowden introduces the THiNK Test to Tyaja’s classMrs. Snowden tells the kids that T = True, H = Helpful, N = Necessary and K = Kind. If what you’re about to say isn’t any of these things, she tells them, you shouldn’t say it. Later that day, when Tyaja is about to criticise her friend Dhavi’s new haircut, she is stopped by four little elves sporting the letters T, H, N and K, who reinforce Ms. Snowden’s lesson and remind Tyaja how friends should treat friends. Tyaja learns that she is the “I” in THiNK!
