Social Skills Lesson – Staying on Topic

Staying on Topic & Staying Involved in Conversations:

Remember when a certain topic is being talked about, it is important to stick to making comments or asking questions about that topic. When everyone in a conversation stays on topic, the conversation can move along easily and the other people in the conversation feel that you are interested.
