That's the inherent assumption that I think permeates social groups and makes them pretty difficult and downright harmful at times.
Yeah, and again, I think that some of the things are helpful, right?
If we want our students to be able to articulate when they're struggling, we want them to be able to communicate effectively and understand when an environment's
appropriate for a certain comment, or maybe it's better to do it differently.
Those are no doubt important skills.
It's just the kind of overall ethos of, is this a space where I'm in because I've messed up?
And that can be harmful.
So again, I go back to this idea of this like kind of warm light that students gravitate to.
I always say that don't be afraid to curate.
Create an environment where your student is empowered.
Even if it doesn't feel like the socializing that you might envision, can we put them in a place where they feel good, they're with other kids, they're doing things that
that are exciting and they have an assigned role.
Like one of the best examples, I say maybe give up on the social skills group and try Dungeons and Dragons, right?
Like try a place where your kid can be an avatar and can express themselves through the perspective of an avatar, stretching their creativity, building empathy for other characters, problem solving, having to respond to stimuli as they come up.
You can't always plan what someone's going to do and it comes down to the role of the die, right?
That's a fun way to work on some of these skills, if that's an interest, right?
Maybe speech and debate, maybe a programming or robotics challenge class, something that's stimulating intellectually.
And then we can kind of say, hold on, so-and-so didn't finish.
And how do we even know when they're done anyway?
What's a better way we can find out?
