Being friendly: 3 little things that make a big difference
We are back from fall break!In the last 2 weeks, I have moved to another state and gone on an 8-day road trip by myself. While it seems like this would mean less social interaction since I'm no longer around people I know, it has actually required so much more!
On this week's episode, I'm sharing three little things our neurodivergent kids can do on a regular basis that make a big difference when it comes to being perceived as friendly.
Why does it matter how we are perceived? Because we all are much more willing and interested in connecting with people we perceive as friendly than with those we don't.
It's definitely possible for someone to be very friendly, but not be perceived that way. This can be due to anxiety, being distracted, or just not knowing that what they are doing is sabotaging their intent.
This episode also involves talking to strangers, which is something I believe is not only acceptable but necessary in order for our kids to have a meaningful social life.
