Storyboard Text
- UGH!
- So this weekend, I am...
- Oh, this weekend I am going to the lake with my family. I am so excited!
- This weekend I am visiting my cousins in New York. What about you guys?
- Deep breath, wait until Sarah is done talking.
- One of my weaknesses is that I often have a hard time waiting my turn to talk in social conversations. I get so excited to chime in that I interrupt a lot.
- One thing I can do to manage this is to take a few deep breaths when I want to interrupt. That will help me remember to slow down and wait my turn.
