What is Social feedback?

Social feedback is when people around you show you how they feel about what you're doing, like a group of friends cheering or giving high fives after a game.

Imagine you’re playing tag at the park, and you're the fastest runner. Every time you dodge someone, your friends clap, laugh, or even jump up and down with excitement. That’s social feedback, it’s like getting little cheers from your team every time you do something cool.

When you get social feedback, it helps you know what to do next. If everyone is happy, you might run faster or try to catch someone else. But if they’re confused or upset, maybe you need to slow down or explain what’s going on.

Social feedback is like getting a thumbs up from your teacher after you solve a tricky math problem, it makes you feel proud and ready for the next challenge!

Getting social feedback helps you learn and grow. It shows you what works, what doesn’t, and how others see you. Just like when your parents smile at you after you clean up your room, that’s social feedback helping you know you did a good job!
