Teach key ways to get along with others

The ability to get along with people is a social skill that helps children throughout their school careers. To build this skill, teach your child the importance of being polite. Explain that when friends are talking and your child wants to join in, it's polite to enter the ongoing conversation rather than change the subject. Encourage your child to ask others what they would like to do. Emphasize the need to consider other people's feelings and show them respect even when disagreeing.
