Features: 26 Friendship Rules for Kids - The Best Training for Social Skills. Do you often see your childhood and current self in your child? The same shyness and withdrawal, or the same temper tantrums and bullying? Almost every child faces social issues to some degree during their growth, such as fighting with friends, being teased, being excluded, shyness, or lacking "best friends." Nowadays, parents generally prioritize academic performance, often neglecting their children's social problems, even considering them issues for adulthood. However, experts' research shows that children who are unpopular in elementary school are more likely to drop out of school or even engage in criminal activities compared to those with good relationships. In adolescence, they are also more prone to severe psychological problems, leading to gaps in career success and family happiness. Therefore, children's social skills cannot be taken lightly!
In childhood, children interact with peers; as they grow up, they deal with superiors, colleagues, and business partners; after marriage, they must manage various family relationships. Thus, the ability to communicate and interact with others is crucial to their lifelong success and happiness!
"No one likes me!" Perhaps you often hear this complaint from your child. Almost every child faces social challenges in certain areas or at certain times. What should a child do if they feel isolated or unable to get along harmoniously with their peers? Based on surveys of over a thousand children, this book categorizes children with poor social skills into nine types and provides friendship guidance tailored to each type. It also offers practical methods such as role-playing, games, and exercises for children, parents (or teachers) to help them identify their strengths and weaknesses in social skills, thereby truly changing their behavior and refining their social techniques.
