Summary
Put your best foot forward with Social Smarts for Kids!
A guide for children -- and their parents -- on how to say (and do!) the right thing at the right time.
When learning another language, it is important for us to know what to say and when to say it, to make a good impression. But good communication is not only about using the best words, it is also about appropriate behaviour. Social Smarts for Kids explains in simple terms how English-language learners can put their best foot forward.
Topics covered include:
- respecting ourselves and others
- social skills in the playground, at school and at home
- expressing our emotions
- understanding our differences
The 'Bonus section' contains advice and tips on what children should say and how they should conduct themselves during the all-important school-entrance interview process.
Chapters include cartoons, sample English dialogues, and matching and writing activities to enhance the learning experience.
This book can be read by children or shared as a parent-child activity in English-language and social-skills learning.
