Thinking about other people: When I'm in a group, I need to keep thinking about the group. If my brain rolls away from the group, I"m showing other people that I'm not thinking about them. Other people don't want to be around e if I don't think about them.

Having a flexible brain: Having a flexible brain is important so that I can show others that I can accept change. It also means I can change my thoughts to help the group problem solve and make decisions.

My body makes connections: My body lets other people know how I"m feeling and what I"m thinking about. If I slouch down in my chair, I'm letting other people know that I am not listening to them or I'm tired. I need to be aware of the message my body sends other people at all times.

Listening skills: I can use my body to show other people that I am listening to them and thinking about what is being said. Some of my good listening skills are looking at the speakers and giving them my full attention or giving them feedback to let them know that I am thinking about what they're saying.

Thinking of you: Am I a "Just-Me" or a "Thinking-of-You" kind of kid? Do I only talk about what I want to talk about, or do I think about what other people might want to talk about?

Using my words to make connections: I can use my words to make connections with other people. I can ask questions about other people to let them know that I am thinking about them. If I don't talk to them they may think I am unfriendly. If I only talk about what I want to talk about, they might think I am being a "Just-Me"!

Good Thoughts and Weird thoughts: I want people to have good thoughts about me. If I do what is expected, other people will have good thoughts about me. If I do what is unexpected, other people might have bad or weird thoughts about me.

Adding thoughts to the group: When I am having a conversation in a group, I want to add my thoughts to the group. This lets other people know that I am thinking about what they're saying, and I am staying connected to the group.
