I quickly taught my group to not say, "I don't like ______". I have told them they do not have to eat what is on their plate, but they do not need to inform everyone that they do not like it.

Do not interrupt a conversation. I have one that is determined to interrupt every conversation I try to have with my husband, or anyone else for that matter. She is so used to being the center of everyone's attention.

Look for ways to help. If you are a big kid, try to help a little kid with shoes or walking down steps, or whatever. I am a firm believer that we teach kids to be kind by having them practice being kind.
