Young children are good imitators, so modeling good social skills would seem to be the best answer.
I am not sure what is meant by "reassure," but it is also helpful to acknowledge positive behavior when it occurs. This is when phrases like "thank you" or "I appreciate that" come in handy. It will not initiate the behavior, but it can help to have the desired behavior repeated.

thank you, it helps a lot
If 'reassure' were give positive reinforcement, I would argue for A. As it is, I agree modeling is best. For modeling to work, the teacher has to be seen as a positive role model, or heroine.
is not A,try D
