Publisher's Synopsis
Social skills constitute more than a time-honored list of modern manners; they are ways to thrive in today's world.
In this workbook, Teens Social Skill Strategies, teens learn by doing, from each other, and through thought and feedback. Real life comes to the classroom, group room or individual space as teens practice new skills and begin to change negative behaviors. Awareness of societal expectations, empathy, ethics and altruism are not taught but are lived, through simulated and actual situations. Verbal and non-verbal communication, social graces, the desire to fit in, diversity, inclusion, finding and being a friend, family relationships, forgiveness, first love, breakups, humanitarianism and other topics are featured. Social issues, including abuse prevention and other topics are addressed.
Active learning occurs as teens consider social life and social consciousness through interactive games, introspective drawing and writing, mock videos, role plays, panel discussions.
