Nothing touches the heartstrings of a parent more than the plaintive cry “nobody likes me" or ”I don’t have any friends.” We wish there were something we could do to insure our child will be, if not the most popular, at least included in the games on the playground and invited back to play dates.
Actually, there is something we can do to increase their acceptance by the group and become more approachable to others. This class will teach parents, teachers, counselors and other caring adults ways to make a child more likeable.
New research shows that all likeable children behave in certain ways. These skills are not in-born but can be taught and can be learned like any other skill. There is a language of likeability that some children cannot pick up by osmosis, but must learn. Not only does fitting in and having friends feel good, it has numerous other advantages including better grades, healthier bodies, less stress, and more opportunities to learn social skills. Children who feel like they have the ability to make friends tend to stay in school longer, make wiser decisions, and are generally all around happier individuals.
This workshop comes with a book or CD for a special price for participants.
