Parents can practice and/or review these skills with their child at home and in the community. Here are the steps to:

3) Wait to be acknowledge by the teachers.

4) Ask questions or make requests in a calm voice.

 

1) Looking at the person. 

2) Use a pleasant voice.

3) Say "I understand how you feel"

4) Tell why you feel differently.

5) Give a reason.

6) Listen to the other person. 

 

When your child demonstrates the appropriate social skill to get the teacher's attention and disagree appropriately, he/she is demonstrating respectful behaviors. Reward your child with positive praise (i.e. "good job", pat on the back, thumbs-up, etc.) when he/she demonstrates the skill.
