Social awareness refers to the ability to understand and recognize the various social, cultural, and societal issues that affect individuals and communities.
It involves being attuned to the world around you, empathizing with the experiences and perspectives of others, and being informed about the broader social and cultural context in which people live. Social awareness encompasses a wide range of knowledge and skills.
Did you watch the US Open? I did and was touched by Coco Gauff in so many ways.
Yes, I was impressed by her athleticism but mostly for me it was her sportsmanship, responsibility and grace.
Coco Gauff, Manners Etiquette and Using Grace
As she accepted her trophy, she recognized her family – especially her parents, the audience and she was relatable.
Coco demonstrated personal power, self-respect, respect for others and she was socially aware.
As etiquette experts, it is our responsibility to tell stories and share positive examples that children find interesting and can relate to in the moment.
Coco’s story is uplifting and a good example of how to be in everyday life. During the entire tournament she demonstrated the meaning of being responsible, emphatic, patient all while being graceful
