Where is the first place that most children go to in the morning that typically has lots of other children there as well? THE BUS STOP The child walks down the street and sees other children standing around waiting for the bus.
Some children are talking and laughing while others are standing on the side by themselves. Walk up to a child who is alone and see if he looks up at you as you approach. If he does, go up to him and say something simple, such as "What's up?"
You can follow up by talking a little (you do not want to overwhelm him with a long conversation, initially) about a topic that you think he might be interested in talking about. Here is an example: "Did you see the Mets game last night? I was so happy that they ae finally hitting, especially David Wright." Now wait and see if he responds and take it from there. Maybe next time, the other child will approach you!
