Social Skills (and ADD)

I read this and thought it sounded so much like Brooklyn! I will have to keep an eye on this, but she definetly meets the criteria below for ADD!
1) having trouble making and keeping friends. (not really, though we only have a few friends she sees often and only one her age so some are more forgiving)
2) interrupting others (all the time, though this could be my fault)
3) Talking too loud (seriously is she screaming?)
4.) Invading others personal space (she gets right in their face when she talks to them)

It says to teach them
1) listening skills (nodding your head, eye contact, ask questions)
2) Voice (tone and volume)
3) Personal Space
4)Body Talk
5) Starting Conversations
6) Staying on topic (including responding to others without changing the subject)
7) STopping and thinking before talking
