Nonverbal social cues

Help

During a group project, your teammate’s shoulders are tight, their jaw is clenched, and they aren’t talking much.

They might be feeling anxious, stressed, or upset. You can ask, “Do you want to take a break?” or “Is something bothering you?” to show support.

You try to join a group at recess, but one person turns their body away and doesn’t include you in the conversation. What is their body language telling you? What could you try next?

They are probably feeling impatient or frustrated.

A classmate is smiling, making eye contact, and leaning forward while you’re talking about your cat.

They are probably interested and happy. Smiling, eye contact, and leaning in are signs of being engaged and enjoying the conversation.
