Teach the Art of Asking Questions

Asking questions allows the child to learn more about others. Children can be taught the secret to exciting conversation is to follow their curiosity and ask questions about the other person’s interests. The question, “What’s it like to roller-blade?”  will promote better conversation.  Children with social challenges may need to be taught that others enjoy talking about their own interests.  Students should be reminded to not pry into another’s personal business.
