While all children will benefit from the tips in the book, it has been especially beneficial to children with special needs that impact their socialization abilities.

  • Joining a group;
  • Conversation skills;
  • Handling strong emotions;
  • Dealing with rejection and being excluded;

  • Working things out & sharing;
