[quote=Anonymous]I am a special education teacher. I would try to focus on one behavior at a time. Define it, explain why others have trouble with it, explain the possible negative outcome if the behavior continues, and teach a replacement behavior. Kids need to understand the whole dynamic and then it is easier for them to adapt socially. Break it down and go over it. Anticipate when it might happen and cue and coach ahead of time, and ask how it went later.

“You are going to soccer practice. Keep your hands to yourself when you are near other kids. Grab your shorts and squeeze if you want to reach out.”

“How was practice? We’re you able to keep your hands to yourself more? I bet the other kids liked talking to you and still having their personal space!”

Have your kid watch other kids from a distance from while you narrate, like at the playground, for a minute. “I see that boy in the red shirt coming over to the slide. I think he is asking if he can play. Uh oh, that boy in the green shirt just pushed ahead of everyone and because he’s yelling he can’t hear the other kids asking him to come back to decide what they are going to play.” He has to learn to analyze what is happening and then choose appropriate behaviors.[/quote]
