101 Ways To Teach Children Social Skills

With adult guidance, however, those children can become socially adept as well, shy children can become more outgoing, aggressive children can learn self-control, and socially isolated children can be taught how to make friends. Children with well-developed social skills, do better in school, face life’s challenges with greater resiliency, have a better self-image, and experience the rewards of positive relationships

Topics include: Communicating, nonverbal communication, being part of a group, expressing your feelings, caring about yourself and others, problem solving, listening, standing up for yourself, and managing conflict. Written for use with groups of children, such as a classroom or counseling group, the activities are intended to help children in every aspect of their social development, including their relationships with peers, parents, and teachers.
