Hello Families,
The motto this week is:
I am willing to introduce myself and get to know new people.
Introductions are often the starting foundations of relationships. Appearing confident and welcoming is sometimes even challenging for adults! Especially when we worry about what other people may be thinking about us.
It’s easy for students to get so nervous about what other people may think about them that they become too fearful to introduce themselves to other students.
Here are some easy tools you can teach your child that may help them overcome those nerves:
1. When you approach people, think, “How can I help?”
When you keep your mind busy thinking, ‘How can I help?’, you don’t have time to think, ‘What do they think about me?’ Helping others can be as easy as saying hello, introducing them to friends, or sharing a smile. Being helpful is empowering!
2. If an awkward silence happens, Ask questions!
After the initial introduction, there will often be a bout of silence; asking questions is a great way to break the ice. When your student asks someone what their favorite sport or activity is, they are showing an interest in the other person. Asking questions about the person’s favorite sports, movies, hobbies, or food is a great way to end awkward silences.
“You can’t stay in your corner of the forest waiting for others to come to you.
You have to go to them sometimes.”
-Winnie the Pooh (A.A. Milne)
Have an excellent week,
