How to Model “Thinking Out Loud” for Social Awareness
Children with ADHD or pragmatic language challenges often struggle to realize that other people’s thoughts aren’t obvious.
Psychologists call this metacognitive awareness—and it’s essential for navigating social situations (Flavell, 1979).
Simple Ways to Model Thinking
- Decision-Making: “Hmm, I’m deciding between apples and bananas.”
- Problem-Solving: “Oops, I dropped it. What should I do next?”
- Predicting: “I think Grandma will be surprised!”
