As parents we are quick to intervene when our children need help with academic skills. Yet, when they struggle socially, we are often at a loss about how to help and sometimes even end up getting angry at the child. This webinar will focus on ways to help children successfully navigate their social environments. We will break down the various aspects of social interactions, such as initiating contact and starting a conversation, and discuss strategies to help children learn to interact socially in the same step-by-step manner that they learn other types of skills.
