Help your children develop essential social skills—including groups, one-on-one interactions, and virtual communication—with these 150 easy, fun activities to teach your kids how to socially succeed. From taking turns to making eye contact to staying engaged during conversations, developing appropriate social skills is an important factor for kids to be able to succeed in school and life in general. But how can you tell if your child is really making progress while you read the same stories, have the same conversations, and chaperone the same playdates? The answer is to add some variety to your child’s daily activities with these 150 exercises specially designed to keep your child (and their friends) entertained, all while teaching them effective social skills. In Social Skills for Kids, you’ll learn everything you need to know about how social skills develop in children and what you can do to support their growth. In this book, you’ll find games to encourage them in group settings, activities that you (or another caregiver) can do alone with your child, and ways to make the most of virtual interactions for social skill development. So whether you’re looking for new activities to entertain a few friends during playtime, searching for fun (and educational) games you and your child can play together, or even interested in ways to include people you can’t physically visit, Social Skills for Kids has all the tools you need to help your child develop the social skills they need to succeed.

First and foremost, it's essential to remember that building social skills is a gradual and ongoing process. There may be some bumps in the road along the way, but with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, your child will make progress. Remember, building social skills is not just about learning how to make friends, but also about developing empathy, compassion, and problem-solving skills that will serve your child well throughout their lives. As your child becomes more comfortable in social settings, you can begin to introduce more complex social skills, such as sharing, taking turns, and showing gratitude.

Adults need social intelligence, but toddlers need it more. Toddlers need social intelligence more because they are still in their early stage of development and so they have an effective form of learning and character advancement. Babies start developing social intelligence from the moment they are born. By the time they are 18 months, they begin to have a more pronounced ability to understand social cues, thoughts, and intentions of other people. Social intelligence is just as important as any other skill you may want to inculcate in your child. Humans are social beings by nature and so whether as children or adults, we need to interact with other people. Children especially, need to have the ability to understand other people's intentions, motivations, and desires. They need to know how to interpret body language, tone of voice, facial expressions, and gestures. If you want to raise a socially intelligent child, the key is to teach them these skills at a very young age. This book has provided comprehensive yet direct strategies for teaching toddlers social intelligence without stress. Following the laid out strategies, your toddler can easily understand the rules of socializing, know how to interact better with their peers and form positive relationships. You don’t have to deal with a defiant child anymore or in the future. They are also more likely to succeed in their personal and professional relationship when they grow older.

Building a child’s “social repertoire” for more effective autism treatment. Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are an alarmingly prevalent topic of conversation in the news, in pediatrician and therapists’ offices, in classrooms, among concerned parents, and at home, within families. The rate of diagnoses seems only to rise. It’s not surprising that professionals who work with kids on the autism spectrum are eager for effective resources on how to help children and their parents or caregivers manage it. And with this book, readers have a new tool to add to their arsenal. Drawing on her work at the Yale Child Study Center, Koenig explains how critical it is for kids to not simply learn new social skills that fit their individual needs, but to be able to seamlessly integrate them into a range of day-to-day situations, from the classroom to the lunchroom to the dinner table at home. Building their "social repertoire" in this way, she argues, is key to effective autism treatment. Unlike other autism books that tend to be prescriptive in their approach to social skills training, this one teaches that the best social interventions are evidence-based, child-specific, and meaningfully integrated. Guiding readers through the overarching considerations and principles for designing successful social interventions, Koenig presents a host of specific techniques—visual strategies and supports, scripts and role play, developmental play approaches, video modeling, peer mediated approaches, technology-based instruction, group instruction, self-monitoring strategies, parent-delivered interventions, and much more. Case vignettes illustrate how each intervention can be implemented, and what trouble-shooting techniques can be used when a child isn’t responding well. Koenig also provides advice on how parents and professionals can work together as a team, how to help kids “generalize” their newly learned skills across contexts, and how to measure progress in a sensible way. With a foreword by renowned child psychiatrist Fred Volkmar, Practical Social Skills for Autism Spectrum Disorders is sophisticated in its methodology but highly accessible, hands-on, and user-friendly. An invaluable manual for clinicians, educators, school counselors and administrators, parents, and all those who work with kids on the autism spectrum, it unravels the nuances of effective social skills training by showing how to really create intervention programs that take kids' own aptitudes and needs into account. With time, the right teaching, and compassion, they can achieve a life of full engagement with their families and communities.
