Stop Worrying! Most kids lack social skills. Now you can give your kids a boost with 5 social skills every kid needs.

  1. Listen to the other kid. Most kids are like adults. They love attention. Giving attention by listening to the other kid is the highest kind of compliment. Here's a parenting tip to help your child get started. Tell your child to ask questions. If the child your son wants for a friend is talking about his new bike, ask him how fast it goes, how big it is, or its design. These questions will get him talking. Your child will be giving him the attention he craves. He'll want your child for a friend too.
  2. Look the other kid in the eye when listening and speaking. Use this parenting tip to stress that looking directly into the other kids' eyes makes them feel important. They'll know you are interested in them. They'll like your child for it too.
  3. Repeat your friend's last few words: Repeating the other kid's last few words and waiting for the kid to continue speaking is a great parenting tip. It's a superior social skill because it helps the other kid keep on track and continue his train of thought. He'll feel like your child really listens too.

    For instance, let's pretend the other boy said, "I'm going to be a fireman and help save people." Your child could reply, "Help save people?" The friend might say, "Yah, my uncle is a fireman and he tells us..." Who wouldn't want to be friends with your child? He's such a great listener. One more thing, the other kid won't even know your child is moving the conversation along by repeating the other kid's last words....
