Publisher's Synopsis
Social and communication skills are imperative abilities that children and adults of all ages should possess. However, today's children are disadvantaged due to a worldwide pandemic that has diminished their chance at learning these skills in social settings. In addition, reliance on technology has crippled our ability to relate to one another as human beings, affecting the younger generations the most. Children's social and communicative development reaches new levels from preschool to elementary school as they are thrust into a world encompassed by other children. With online schooling on the rise, children cannot learn the essential skills that they would typically learn in school and different social settings. Poor communication can lead to negativity, low morale, and bad interpersonal relationships in the future. From online gaming to tablets and mobile devices, children spend more of their time in front of a screen than face-to-face communication with their peers. Parents have the power to shift this paradigm and help their children capitalize on the best of both worlds, technology, and human social skills.In this book, you will find: ●An introduction to the significance of social and communication skills●How to practice social skills with your children●How to practice social skills with special needs children●How to be a role model for your children●Feedback, encouragement, and praise for your children●Fun social skill activities and games to practice with your childrenWe hope that you will use this book as a guide to improve and nurture your children's social skills
