Description

The easy way for kids to develop social skills and make friends in 7 simple steps by involving the kids and their parents.

Raising bright, confident, and socially competent children is every parent's top priority.

We want our kids to live, laugh, and love without abandon. We want to see them grow and prosper in any environment.

That includes social settings.

However, socializing doesn't come easily to everybody.

Some kids are shyer than others. Some kids simply thrive on social energy. Some kids prefer small friend groups. Some kids love being in the middle of a crowd.

This is why it's difficult finding a one-size-fits-all solution to helping kids socialize. Heck, it's downright impossible

Every kid is different, after all.

That's what sets this book apart.

It celebrates that difference by providing multiple age-appropriate tips, tools, and strategies to help every kid out. From natural leaders to quiet, creative souls, from energetic little scamps to soft, sensitive doves... there's an approach in this book that'll work for them all.

There are 45 fun activities in this book, all separated according to skills and then further separated into age groups: babies, toddlers, preschoolers, elementary and middle schoolers. The specific development stage of each child is considered. No one is excluded.

Aside from discovering the 7 Main Social Skills Every Child Needs to Develop, you'll also learn:

● The 3 Main Types of Self-Esteem-and which one you should help your child nurture

● The crucial difference between controlling emotions and suppressing them

● How to recognize and label different emotions... in us and in others

● What it means to model - and why we, as parents, should always watch our words, tones, and reactions around our kids

● Why it's okay to let kids make mistakes and face the consequences (sometimes)

● Why kids are never too young to master empathy

● The crucial, tell-tale signs of bullying and what you can do if your child is being bullied - or if they are the bully

● The hidden power in asking a toddler, "This or that?"

● Why you should ask your child for their opinions more often

● Why over-praising can actually damage a child's self-esteem

... and many, many more.

This book also highlights how the 7 social skills are interconnected. What's self-esteem got to do with bullying, and what's decision-making got to do with self-esteem?

Navigating social situations can be difficult for both kids and adults alike. Kids have more energy; adults have more experience. By working together with your child, you can help them grow and mature into emotionally intelligent, well-balanced individuals.
