Every parent wants their child to be okay — to have friends, to be successful, to feel comfortable in his or her own skin. But many children lack important social and executive functioning skills that allow them to navigate through the world with ease. Parenting expert Caroline Maguire has worked with thousands of families dealing with chronic social dilemmas, ranging from shyness to aggression to ADHD, and more. In this groundbreaking book, she shares her decade-in-the-making protocol — The Play Better Plan — to help parents coach children to connect with others and make friends.
Maguire provides techniques that can work for kids from preschool to college, including Social Sleuthing, learning to pay attention to social cues; Post-Play Date Huddles to help kids figure out what to look for in a friendship, and Reflective Listening to improve your child's relationship with their peers. With compassion and ease, this program gives parents a tangible, easy-to-follow guide for helping kids develop the executive function and social skills they need to thrive.
