Imagine that you have been asked to write a self-help article for children ages 9 to 12. Your working title is "How to Be Popular!" Begin your article by describing, in a few sentences, the kind of child who tends to be popular
Then suggest the ways that the less popular, or rejected, child can improve his or her social skills.
What will be an ideal response?
Good responses will include descriptions of the popular child as socially mature,
understanding and helpful, having a pleasing appearance and a high level of
academic achievement, and tending not to be physically aggressive. Rejected
children may need assistance with personal grooming and/or academic skills, should
seek out peers similar to themselves (in terms of sex, intellectual ability, etc.), and
should participate in activities and relationships that increase self-esteem and
self-understanding. As they begin to derive confidence from their own strengths and
interests, the number and quality of their friendships are likely to improve.
