Awesome Guide for Parents
The activities in this book really are recipes for social and emotional learning. 10 pages into the book I already had taken a page's worth of notes and found activities that I can incorporate in my daughter's daily routine. The Indoor Ant-Boredom section on page 16 was quite unique. I liked how each activity in the book was explained with an example and what the purpose of each activity was. Hoping by chance that a second book will be released with even more activities. Will make my life as a parent that much easier
So logical and brilliant!
This book is great! I guess it's written for parents of kids with social challenges but it's applicable to parents of any kids. When I read it, I am aware of how many unspoken rules our society has. So often we don't tell kids the things we want them to know and then are disappointed when situations turn ugly. With the help of Make Social Learning Stick and a little prep time things go much more smoothly.
