Respecting Differences
The Hawkins Hollow friends want to build a cozy fort, but not everyone needs the same sounds, speed, or space. With the Respect Differences 3, they learn to ask what helps, warn first, and try again slower so everyone can stay included.
The friends want to build a cozy fort, but not everyone likes things the same way—some friends need it quieter, slower, or with a warning first. With three simple Respect Differences steps, the fort becomes a place where everyone can feel safe and included. Little by little, the group learns that differences are not problems to erase. They are helpful information that can guide a better plan. This warm Hawkins Hollow read-aloud supports children as they explore inclusion, sensory needs, respectful questions, warning first, flexible teamwork, and making room for everyone.
