[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience it’s taught, but not all teens can pull it off. Teens who can are usually old souls. She’ll blossom in the right college. [/quote] Taught how? My daughter is not shy, extremely involved and social at school — but if we recommended behaving this way she’d think we were insane. Our higher achieving daughter would seem cold and unappreciative in the exact same setting.[/quote] I’m the pp. My DC was shy and anxious so DH and I made a concerted effort to teach manners such as a firm handshake, look someone in the eye when talking, small talk topics, etc. If you have an outgoing child I suspect you don’t have to teach them these skills as much because they run off to a group of friends as soon as they get to a gathering. Once DC was a teen the skills we taught are second nature and they are extremely comfortable around adults in social settings. [/quote]
