Welcome students and introduce the session. Begin by explaining that our words can build bridges or create barriers. Emphasize that today we'll learn why it's important not to use harmful language like swearing and how we can repair relationships using respectful communication.

Start by discussing the impact of words. Ask students how they feel when they hear hurtful language and share examples of respectful language. Use this slide to frame the conversation about the emotional impact of swearing on peers and staff.

Introduce the first video. Explain that the video about empathy by Brené Brown will help us understand why it's important to see things from someone else's perspective before we speak.

After the empathy video, engage the students by asking them to reflect on how understanding others’ feelings might remind us to choose kinder words. Invite a few responses and connect their ideas to everyday interactions.

Introduce restorative strategies by showing the video on The Best Way to Apologize. Highlight that apologies are important in fixing hurt feelings and rebuilding trust when unkind words are used.
