Book Overview
In social situations, certain children are more likely than others to be subject to emotional and physical harm by more aggressive children. Shyness, social anxiety, or a tendency to be withdrawn may underlie this socially vulnerability, as may awkwardness in social situations or an inclination to be impulsive or explosive. If your child struggles with any of these problems, there is much you can do to help him or her develop more effective social skills and learn to fit in better with peers. In this book, the husband and wife team of Eisen and Engler provide you with a clinically proven set of coping tools and social-skill strategies you can tailor to your child's unique social and emotional needs. Use them to promote confidence, independence, and social ease in your child, whether in the classroom, on the playground, or at play in his or her peer group. As you help your child mange his or her emotions, you'll lay the groundwork for a more harmonious family life, better school adjustment, and ultimately, social success.

Realistic guide
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book was more about the "facts" of having a sensitive child and how it affects their social functioning. They gave a lot of "real life" examples of child in certain social settings and how they were able to overcome their vulnerablity. This book also gave more of a hands on approach to helping a child become more socially involved without pushing them into it and making the situation even worse. I felt like this book was more focused on school-aged children (maybe grades 3-12). My son is in pre-k, but it gave me a good idea of what he could be facing in the future if he continues to struggle in social situations.
