Thank-you to all of Kim's friends who have lent their support to her.
She is doing well in her studies but continues to need encouragement in some areas. As her instructor, she of course is perfect in my presence. It is her interaction with you all where the proof will lie.
So far she has worked on the following skills. Please remind her if she forgets to use her manners in any of these areas when she visits with you.
1) Properly introducing herself by giving her name, using at least one action or facial expression, and asking an open ended question to facilitate conversation.
2) Not forcing her actions on others by OFFERING the gesture, such as a hug, rather than just giving it to a person.
3) Appropriate gift giving - offering the items and enjoying the ensuing interaction, instead of just stuffing items onto your person.
4) Family management - Kim's brothers and sisters are eager to help her succeed and can be over-zealous in contacting others. They are all aware that only ONE of them should be talking to anyone at a given time but sometimes need to be reminded.
We have many lessons to continue working on. With your help and Kim's dedication to change, I am hopeful she can reintegrate to the mainland as a more effective, polite, and contributing member of society.
Should you have any concerns about the above skills, feel free to leave a note with Valya. My time is very busy with students, and Valya can sort through what truly requires my attention.
