Social skills are the skills we use to communicate and interact with each other, both verbally and non-verbally, through gestures, body language and our personal appearance.
Human beings are sociable creatures and we have developed many ways to communicate our messages, thoughts and feelings with others.
Some kids seem to learn social skills very easily, but others can benefit from some extra activities. Almost every child struggle to make friends issues at some time in some way—whether it’s trying to find a buddy in a new school, handling teasing, or having an argument with a friend.
Developing social skills in children prepares them for a lifetime of healthier interactions in all aspects of life. Social skills are an integral part of functioning in society. Displaying good manners, communicating effectively with others, being considerate of the feelings of others and expressing personal needs are all important components of solid social skills. Helping children to develop these important skills requires a different set of strategies in each stage of development.
Like any other skill, social skills can be learned. What is important, however, is that children are able to form meaningful bonds with others, can empathize and interact with others appropriately, and have the skills to adapt in uncomfortable situations
Through your discussion of how they feel, they begin to learn words associated with those feelings and can later use those words to talk out their feelings. This will help them transition to talking about feelings instead of acting out their frustrations.
If your child is struggling to figure out how to respond to a social quandary, We, at ‘The Helping Hands Therapy Centre’ might be able to support your child’s social thinking by providing insights to explain the other child’s behaviour. You could also help your child brainstorm possible responses and evaluate their likely outcomes. We do involve parents as well as the people who are connected to the students in any manner so that each and every situation can be a learning for them. We have a team of qualified professional who plans the social outing, gatherings, small picnic, discussion groups, group classes on the topics where students feel excited and are happy to participate.
