2)   Athira is a secondary school student who is always reluctant to participate in group activities. As a teacher, how will you minimise this behaviour?

A) Frequently provide small group activities based on her interest

B) Force her to engage in leadership roles

C) Allow her to participate in individual activities only

D) Criticise her for not participating in group activities

The best way to minimise reluctance in group participation is to start with small group activities tailored to the student's interests. This approach makes participation less intimidating, fosters a sense of belonging, and gradually builds confidence in social and group settings. Forcing leadership roles or excluding her from group activities can increase anxiety and resistance, while criticism is counterproductive and harmful. Gradually, as comfort with smaller groups grows, the student may become more open to participating in larger group activities.

 Ans)   A) Frequently provide small group activities based on her interest
