Your child needs to have the ability to work well with others.

 

Few people rely only on themselves to make a living. Almost all of us are interdependent we give and take from others.

 

Long before the work world , your child must function in the interdependent  world of school.

 

It’s important to stress and model cooperation with your child:

 

· Takes practice. Cooperate at home. Prepare a meal together. Take turns

       folding laundry.

· Takes patience. You cannot cooperate effectively if you always think you’re right, or  if you insist on having your way.

· Takes planning. Working with people depends on each person knowing what to do and following through.  Let each person chose a part. Write down what each person has agreed to do and by when.

· Takes perseverance. Sometimes things fall apart when you work with another person. Talk it over. Make a new plan and try again.
