Reflect on the concept of “soft eyes” (p. 113). Think of a situation where having “soft eyes” might have helped you in the classroom. Describe what happened, how you reacted, and how you would have liked to react.

When speaking of the soft eyes the writer refers to open the eyes of us first to see what's around, so we have as a resource and time to educate. But we must see the beautiful things of life around us, then we can invite our students to appreciate this and enter the world of the mysteries surrounding us that cannot possibly come to understand but are a gift which there to appreciate and care. This can help in the classroom that also invite our students to see more of what is around them, invite them to appreciate every single detail. As a result, the students learn to broaden their perspectives and periphery that they have the world around them.
