“The more that we as parents and as adults can do to actually operationalize how kids can connect with other people — to help them learn the skills that they require to ask a teacher for help, or to enter a conversation or to invite someone over to their house, or to sit down at a table where they don’t know anybody in a crowded lunchroom — the more we can do in that very concrete way to support our kids. That’s actually what they’re really looking for, even if they don’t all necessarily voice it that way.”
