Social Strategies For Kids

Product Description

The Social Strategies for Kids Module

The Social Strategies for Kids Module provides educators with all the tools they need to focus on and enhance the emerging social skills in students grades Pre-K through Grade 3.
Many children do not have an available repertoire of social and coping strategies. When faced with an upsetting or vulnerable situation, these students can easily turn to violence, anger or self-harm. Conversely, when students learn and develop positive social and coping skills, we provide them with alternatives that can help turn problem situations into positive outcomes.
