Talkabout For Children: Developing Social Skills
$102.50
Designed specifically for young children (aged 4 and above) or children with special needs, this practical resource is packed with activities and games for developing social skills. Social competence is an essential aspect of our quality of life and this resource will help you to develop these skills in young children. It creates the second level of the Talkabout heirachy, where self-awareness comes before non-verbal skills and non-verbal comes before verbal, with assertiveness coming last.
The book includes:
Over 60 activities to develop social skills in body language, conversations and assertiveness
A two year teaching plan to help teachers incorporate groups into the school curriculum
A short introduction to working with children with social skills difficulties
An assessment of social skills and planning sheet for intervention
25 excellent group cohesion activities to use within in your groups
Forms and evaluation sheets to help with the smooth running of groups
Downloadable resources with colour versions of the activities to print out and use
This second edition is presented with full-colour illustrations and handouts, and includes a new introduction by Alex Kelly reflecting on her own experiences of using the resources since they were first developed.
Puppets and animals bring some of the concepts to life and new Talkabout characters help the children to learn these essential skills. This is certainly a must have for anyone working with young children or children with special needs on social skills.
