Comment on Anon introduces himself

• Fizz@lemmy.nz ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Speaking a few sentences in front a classroom sized group is pretty normal and kids should be exposed to it. Uncomfortable experiences are a part of growing up.

    Of course. But as the first thing overall with no prior training about it at all? No coaching about examples on what to say, no advice about your choices before the real thing?

      its a few sentences about yourself you dont need coaching. People should have done this countless times before getting to Anon’s age. If he still needs coaching at his age he probably has a learning disorder and I dont mean that in a rude way.

      What training should they need?

      I’d say learning to talk is all they really need. The rest is experience.

        So as soon as you learn to talk, you can handle every social situation adequately? That’s news to me.

        You may not understand this particular issue, because you never had trouble introducing yourself publicly. But you probably struggled at something else, and don’t you think training would (or did) help you there?

  Both are very important. Not being able to speak in front of a group can change the trajectory of your entire life. Children especially should have as many paths open as possible for when they’re ready to decide which one to take.
