A parent provides temporary support for a child to learn new social skills.
The parent removes the support when the child becomes confident. This method helps the child learn by doing.
A parent can offer temporary help for social situations. This help is like a scaffold on a building. The scaffold helps the builders, but it is not part of the final building. The parent gives the child tools and strategies. The child then uses these tools to handle social events. The parent removes the support when the child feels more sure of themselves. This approach builds the child's own abilities.
A parent prepares a child for a birthday party. The parent and child practice how to join a game. The parent tells the child they can use a secret signal if they feel overwhelmed. The parent says they will take a short break outside if the child uses the signal. The child feels more in control.
