Everyone who has attended school knows the hardship of being social, and parents have a troublesome time trying to help.  Many kids have become isolated trying to cope in their social scene.  Social Rules for Kids will help school-aged kids, parents, and teachers affectively control social interactions while improving the child’s communication, problem-solving, and self esteem.

Social Rules for Kids make it easy for kids to make and keep friends. And, it is funny to read!  Each page is written in the first person, so kids own the rules.  Kids can photocopy the rules and hang them in their room or keep them in their school binder for an easy reminder.  

As a speech and language therapist, I was inspired by my students to write this book. They made great progress in their social life. I receive many calls from parents wanting and yearning for ways to help their children. When children make social mistakes, their peers ostracize them and leave them out. They feel hurt and alone. With the use of these rules, children can develop the ability to make and keep friends and have social success in their life.  I cannot think of a more powerful and passionate achievement.

The chapters include rules about school, friends, chit-chat, feelings, bullies, body language, and manners. The rules describe behaviors to follow in school, at home, and in their life.  Kids learn what to do (and not to do) with teasing, standing in line at the cafeteria, instant messaging, phone calling, greetings, compromising, and many more!  Kids become strong and confident by learning how to handle themselves appropriately in social situations.  Thus, they succeed in their life!
