In this workbook, Teens – Social Skill Strategies, teens learn by doing, from each other, and through thought and feedback. Using various social skills activities, real life comes to the classroom, group room, or personal space as teens practice new skills and begin to change negative behaviors. Awareness of societal expectations, empathy, ethics, and altruism are not taught but lived through simulated and actual situations. Verbal and non-verbal communication, social graces, the desire to fit in, diversity, inclusion, finding and being a friend, family relationships, forgiveness, first love, breakups, humanitarianism, and other topics are featured. Social issues, including abuse prevention and other topics, are addressed.
