Tough Kids often have a difficult time getting along in social situations, largely because they have not learned appropriate ways of behaving. This revised version of the popular Tough Kid Social Skills Book teaches those learned behaviours that students need to get along successfully in a majority of social situations.

This book can help teachers, school psychologists, behaviour support staff, school counsellors, school social workers, and other support staff implement social skills programs for Tough Kids that teach:

  • Body Basics
  • Joining in
  • Recognising and expressing feelings
  • Having a conversation
  • Playing co-operatively
  • Solving problems
  • Using self-control
  • Solving arguments
  • Dealing with teasing
  • Dealing with being left out
  • Accepting "No"

The book contains a variety of tools and strategies to help:

  • Identify Tough Kids in need of direct social skills training.
  • Gather data to assess important social skills.
  • Lead productive social skills groups.
  • Conduct structured social skills programs in small group, classroom, or schoolwide applications.

Help the Tough Kids in your class learn the skills they need to be successful in social situations!

"Packed with easy-to-use lessons and materials."
