They could suggest that students play on teams during recess, or take lunchtime as an opportunity to be more social between one another other.

For example, if a patient is extremely easily distracted, they could get hurt by machinery if not careful. If a worker is very emotional, then it also could be a big challenge for supervisors to create a
