Most children acquire social skills by watching what others do and trying it themselves. Kids with ADHD and learning disorders, however, often need explicit training to learn the rules of appropriate social interaction. Use these tips.
Children with attention deficit disorder and learning difficulties frequently have trouble getting along with their peers. Some are easily provoked, excessively loud, or insensitive to personal boundaries, and their behavior marks them as being different. In group discussions they tend to dominate, yet their comments may be out of context. Despite these difficulties, they’re often unaware of being annoying or disruptive.
In middle school, physical education classes often include lessons in sportsmanship, encouragement, and giving and receiving compliments. Teachers show what each skill looks and sounds like, and explain why it should be used. Encouragement, for example, looks like a thumbs-up, a pat on the back, or a high five, and it sounds like “Nice try,” “You can do it,” or “Way to go.” The skills are practiced through games and activities, and students receive praise or rewards for using them.
