Description
Are you ashamed to take your kids anywhere with
you because they are so hard to handle? Are they the
reason you get stares from everyone in a restaurant
because they keep running around? Do you often get
complaints from their teachers about their illmanners
like picking their noses, being rude, and not
adhering to basic social skills?
From the time they are born, kids have been told
they are special. We have spoilt them by fulfilling all
their wishes and demands the minute they made
them timely. Thus, they think that no matter how
they act or behave, they will still be loved and valued.
True, but basic manners, social skills, and etiquette
are important, especially, now that they are growing
up and increasing social interactions.
They need to be taught how to talk, eat, sit, and
behave. They need to be taught how to cooperate and
share. They need to know how to make friends. They
need to know about empathy and its significance.
They should know what behaviors are acceptable in
social gatherings and what isn’t. They need to learn
about discipline and responsibility.
And who has to teach them these – You, the parents!
In How to Develop Happy Children, we look at
various uplifting strategies, activities, and games to
facilitate parents in teaching the aforementioned
social skills to their children. Numerous studies on
happiness have provided enough evidence that good
social skills are, indeed, the key to achieving it.
Here’s what you will find in this book:
● A basic understanding of Social Skills and
their importance
● An overview of basic social skills types
● Teaching basic communication and listening
skills through interactive plays and activities
● Learning about empathy through playful
exercises
● Cooperation, collaborative play, and good
manners, role, and importance, etc.
It is ideal for both new and current parents who are
looking for something simple, informative, and
concise. We hope that by following the activities and
methods explained in a FUNdamental way, you won’t
have a hard time schooling them about basic social
skills which will eventually lead them to happiness
and prosperity.
