I Statements Worksheet for Kids

Communication skills lesson 16: “I” statements and sharing feelings · Set 776 · 40 questions

Communication tip (Start with “I”, not “you”): The four steps in order: I feel… (name your feeling) → when… (the action) → because… (your reason) → I would like… (ask for a change). An “I” statement: “I feel left out when plans are made without me.”, “I get worried when you are late and don’t call.” A blaming “you” line: “You never include me!”, “You are so careless and late!”, “You cheat every time!” — turn each one into “I feel… when…”.
