I recommend this book for anyone who has children, works with children, or cares about and wants to help children progress in their social learning.
Lenexa, KS (PRWEB) March 25, 2014
A new book from AAPC Publishing in Lenexa, Kansas, offers a “social learning diet” of suggestions that can be used in everyday life to increase verbal and nonverbal language, listening skills, understanding of hidden rules, perspective taking, executive functioning, and more. The activities are recipes for social and emotional learning for which parents, teachers, and therapists typically already have the ingredients. With close to 200 fun and easy activities, including contributions from leading experts, this book offers numerous ways to embrace teachable moments throughout daily routines without having to do extra work! Events like getting ready for school, preparing dinner, going to the doctor, and celebrating Thanksgiving become opportunities for teaching and reinforcing expected social behavior. Geared toward children in preschool through elementary school, the ideas are meant to inspire creativity that suits each specific child. Activities are easily tailored to meet a child’s developmental level and needs.
