Description
This activity teaches students how to respond in a kind and supportive way when someone shares a problem. Students will learn to recognize how others are feeling and choose responses that show understanding and respect. The goal is to help students avoid responses that may sound rude, dismissive, or overly focused on problem-solving. Instead, students practice giving supportive comments first, and then offering help when appropriate. Includes realistic, relatable scenarios with a mix of correct, incorrect, and tricky answer choices to build flexible thinking and real-life application. Includes pre-teaching and neurodiversity-affirming note.
