[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the most helpful social tips I was given was from my older cousin's then-boyfriend (now husband) who told me each morning while getting ready, come up with three different things to discuss with random people.

So like, today it would be:
1. Diddy guilt on two counts
2. The gov't built a huge holding pen in like two weeks, but why can't we built for homeless people?
3. My oven is broken and I'm trying to cook around it (then talk about things that can be cooked without an oven).

So for a kid it could be:
1. Diddy - same topic
2. What camps are you going to this summer?
3. Did you get any of the TJ's mini tote bags? What color? (then they can talk about which colors they want, who has, who'd be willing to switch, etc.). 
4. Ginny & Georgia[/quote]

NP—I gave my daughter this advice too but I think the issue was more that she struggled to figure out the timing of how to introduce a new topic/throw out a question. You can’t just randomly blurt out “what summer camps are you doing to” out of nowhere without it sounding weird. The thing that helped her was doing activities with the other girls because then they had common activities to get the conversations going. And then once they had that they were able to establish shared interests that then became topics of conversation. [/quote]
