Let’s Hear It For Talking to Strangers! September 29, 2023 from Free Range Kids What a fantastic study: Research recently published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology found that when people are prompted to talk to a stranger, surprising things happen: They start to feel less awkward after doing it a few times. They feel less likely to be rejected. They are more willing to do it in the future. They consider themselves more convivial and approachable. All of which adds up to OPTIMISM and CONFIDENCE. And aren’t those what we want for our kids?
