And hopefully your choices can come from a deep sense of who you are.” —Fred Rogers One critical element of Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood is helping children understand that we show kindness to other people by the choices we make. With that in mind, we should always take care to make thoughtful choices. Components of Thoughtful Thinking Of course, if it were that easy then Mr. Rogers probably wouldn’t have needed to make a TV show about it. It can be difficult to be thoughtful, but because of his example, we can study two essential components of thoughtful thinking: slowing down remembering others’ contributions to our lives The most commonly used verb on Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood is “see,” which he used 675 times. He used near-synonym “look” 346 times, and “watch” only 59 times. The abundant use of the word “see” was a conscious choice by the meticulous Mr. Rogers to say exactly what he meant and nothing else. To Be Thoughtful, Slow Down During the opening of Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood, the stop light in the neighborhood is always yellow. This is Mr. Rogers’ way of telling his audience to slow down a little bit. Mr. Rogers took this advice himself. In fact, modern audiences might be taken aback by how slowly he seems to speak on his show. He doesn’t speak slowly because he’s shy, but because he’s careful to choose words that will empower his audience without sacrificing the importance of his point. Taking a few seconds to think through what we want to say before we say it lets us consider how our words might be received and shows our audience respect. To Be Thoughtful, Remember Those Who Came Before When we invite people into our lives, we should remember that everyone comes from their own neighborhoods, communities of people who have been behind each of their successes. When we extend an invitation to an individual, we’re welcoming and accepting their history too. If we’re able to appreciate the history of those we invite into our neighborhood, then we’ll have a better understanding of how to show them kindness. We might also remember to embrace the parts of our own history that can serve as a guide for kindness. Watch: While accepting a Lifetime Achievement Emmy in 1997, Mr. Rogers uses most of his time to remind us that someone has helped each of us achieve whatever we’ve done to be proud of. In this way, he reminds us that we all come from somewhere. Need help with this video?

What would the person who helped you be proud of on that day? What would they have advised you to do differently? SHOW WHAT YOU KNOW Why can speaking more slowly help us make thoughtful choices in our interactions? Please provide an answer When we speak too quickly, we can sometimes confuse people. Speaking more slowly can help us make sure that we’re saying exactly what we want to, and consider how what we’re going to say might be perceived. Slowing down gives openings for others to ask questions about what we’re saying. Speaking more slowly is generally interpreted as being non-threatening and friendly.
