Social Skills Comics - Making Responsible Decisions in School

Topics include: Being patient when a teacher is busy with someone else, managing time, taking turns, reacting well to disappointment, staying in your seat, and many more. Item # 2060.

Social Skills Comics - Handling Anger in School
With the recent focus on bullying and violence in our schools, it is clear that we need to find ways to help children manage their anger so that they don't harm themselves or others. This book helps children find constructive, healthy ways to deal with angry feelings. There are 25 comic strips where real-life children act out different scenarios in which they are angry or upset. Readers are then presented with questions to help them think about why the response shown is inappropriate. Finally, the reader is shown another comic strip where the children demonstrate "good choices" for dealing with their anger. Topics include: Solving the problem instead of just getting mad, using relaxation to calm down, learning to apologize, taking control instead of feeling helpless, understanding what's really making you upset, and many more. Item # 2061.

Social Skills Comics - Conversation Skills in School
These 25 "comics" are designed to show children the expected and unexpected ways to behave in a variety of typical school social situations. Detailed photos prompt children to take a closer look at dialog, body language and non-verbal cues in both scenarios. Topics include: reading body language, using humor in conversation, staying on topic, accepting compliments, asking a question, ending a conversation, and many more. Item # 1903.

Social Skills Comics - Handling Anxiety in School
Anxiety is a problem often associated with poor social skills. Kids may be afraid of speaking up in class, taking tests, or interacting with others in the classroom or playground. Characters in the comic strips are shown dealing with anxiety in a "Wrong Way" and then in a more appropriate way. Detailed photos prompt children to take a closer look at dialog, body language and non-verbal cues in both scenarios. Children will learn that interacting in certain ways may help them feel less anxious in social situations. Item # 1904.
