Hartley’s Life With 3 Boys put up a fantastic blog post yesterday about how to help boost your childs social skills. Whether your child is gifted, autistic, non-verbal, handicapped, or just plain needs help with their social skills- her article is very informative and very true! One of the biggest helps for my oldest son has been his social skills classes. It’s basically like a play therapy class with 1 other child and an instructor. In just 2 meetings we noticed HUGE differences in his behavior. Whether you have a child that needs help or you are a teacher I highly suggest you check out her informative article. This would make great suggestions to parents of children who need extra help in the social skills area!
