1. Start Small. At home, practice       and saying hi while looking at yourself in the mirror. Then try this at school with kids you know well. Once that becomes a habit, try doing the same with kids you don’t know as well.
2.        Are Key. Once you         smiling and saying hi, it’s time to start a conversation. All you really have to do is to ask a question or two about a person’s       : What’s your favorite movie? Do you like playing tennis? Just be careful not to ask questions that are too personal __  might be hurtful.
