Through priming, children practice social interactions before they happen. For example, as children transition to lunch say, “Hey Jazmine, let’s pretend I’m Brianna and you are going to ask me to sit with you.” Then you can provide encouragement and feedback. For younger children ask a question like “What might you share during choice time?” You can also use priming to increase the duration of peer play by providing suggestions such as a new way to play with the material or prompting role reversal (“How about you be the horse and she is the trainer this time?”).
