At the core “being in community” is an emotional experience. I feel that I belong, I feel safe, I feel at home, I feel trusted, I feel I can trust you, I feel supported, I feel I can trust people I have never met before in my life. That feeling is nothing but abstract unless it is grounded in an actual experience.
Say “Thank You' to your helper to show your appreciation. Show patience when talking to your helper. Obey them when they are relaying instructions given to them by your parents. Treat them with respect and kindness like they did to you.
