Excellent book!
I like how this book is geared to help the parent be involved and aware of helping their child gain good social skills.
Each chapter is lined up with an introduction to a social skill like listening, problem solving, empathy, body language, sharing, coping skills, manners, self control and communicating.
Each chapter breaks down the topic. Next are things you can do with your child to develop new skills like hands-on type activities or games! A chapter summary follows at the end of most of the chapters. This is a very comprehensive approach gaining social skills for children 3 to 10 years old. Each of the nine social skills are addressed in a separate chapter. The book is easy to read and understand. Lots of helpful tools with the activities that are age-appropriate for different age groups. A lot of good teaching and information for the parent/adult about each of the 9 social skills. I would highly recommend this book!
