Social Skills –
Social skills help children to form positive relationships, have better conversations, develop body language, cooperate, share and communicate their emotions better. Having well developed social skills also leads to improved mental capacity and good overall mental health.
Here at KIDZ SHAISHAV school we offer Various social skill development activities for the students so that they learn social skill and apply them in their lives. We prepare our students so that they can face any upcoming and ongoing life challenges in their lives and handle the situation in better way thus making them more productive and happy in their lives.
Teaching social skills to kids will help them be able to:
- Communicate effectively
- Problem-solve
- Make and keep friends
- Cooperate with others
- Practice active listening
- Use manners
- Adapt to different situations
- Utilize non-verbal cues
- Set and keep boundaries
- Share with others
- Say “no” appropriately
- Ask for help when needed
- Reduce stage fear
At school, our teachers teach social skills. Our classroom rules help children learn how to share resources, create projects together, work out differences, etc. In ways that are kind and respectful. Our teachers also teach lessons about good traits that are important for social skills, empathy, respect, and responsibility.
Our agenda is to provide following skill set:
- Physical social skills
- Socially-related social skills
- Cognitive social skills
- Behavioural social skills
- Adaptive/functional social skills
We provide opportunities for students to learn and practice their social skills. An effective method of practice is through role-playing. Our teachers can provide structured scenarios in which the students can act out and offer immediate feedback.
