Social Skills and Me...Growing Together! - Paperback

by Boys Town (Created by)

A playful workbook to chart the growth and development of a child's social skills!

Social Skills and Me... Growing Together! is a fresh, updated version of Getting Along with Others, the popular activity book used by educators and families to chart and reward young children's positive behaviors.

Featuring twenty-four social skill charts and four fill-in-the-blank charts, young children can track their progress and celebrate their successes as they learn the fundamental skills needed to get along, play nicely, and work cooperatively with their classmates, siblings, parents, and anyone they meet.

Each skill is broken down into easily understood behaviors that can be learned in a step-by-step fashion. When a child uses a skill correctly, they color in a symbol on the skill page. When some or all of the symbols have been colored in, the child earns a reward. Charting their progress allows kids to see how well they are doing and how much they are learning. In the process, teachers and parents will see the child's confidence and self-esteem blossom.

Tips for teaching the skills and setting up rewards for learning and mastering a skill are included, as well as a special download code so the charts can be quickly and conveniently reprinted whenever more are needed. Some of the skills featured in the activity book include:

Using a Proper Voice Tone
Following Instructions
Sharing Your Feelings
Saying You're Sorry
Picking Up After Yourself
Sharing Things with Others
Listening to Others
Controlling Your Anger
Showing You Care
