Raising an awkward kid

The awkward kid may say or do things that others will interpret negatively - such as correcting people's grammar or strictly sticking to rules and routines (which helps them to function but could be perceived as stiff).
Parents can do the following:

• They can act as coaches by teaching their children social scripts that help them fit in.
• They can teach them social expectations for dress and behavior.
• They can help them find their passions and connect with others who have similar interests.
• Social media could be a good tool to set up face-to-face time with friends.
