Loved it! 😍

We all learn & grow in our own way, physically & psychologically. I appreciated the author didn't put every child into a predefined mold.

Synopsis

“Social Situations - My Friends” is aimed at children who find it difficult to communicate effectively and to interact harmoniously with other people. It is ideal for children who find it difficult to express their feelings and to articulate their needs and rights in appropriate ways. The 30 friendship situations presented in the book help children understand that every action has consequences. While there is no one-size-fits-all formula for making friends, kids can develop relationship skills that will foster deep, meaningful connections with others. And let's not forget, when it comes to friendship, it's all about quality, not quantity.

Social Situations – My Friends | Flip Card Series synopsis states that "when it comes to friendship, it's all about quality, not quantity." I wholeheartedly agree with Alice Kassotaki – Speech-Language Pathologist MSc, BSc. The author states that there is "no one-size-fits-all formula for making friends." I agree with this sentiment too. 

We all learn and grow in our own way, physically and psychologically. I appreciated Alice Kassotaki didn't put every child into a predefined mold. Their book's setup was intended for every child to find true and lasting friendships.


Every scenario, thirty in all, has its own character, two situation choice options, a wiser choice answer, a discussion on feelings, and an illustration to reinforce the social situation. They are all numbered so you or your child can quickly locate and revisit whatever situation fits their lifestyle and needs. 


Many children have issues handling disagreements with friends or what to do when they or someone else is bullied. In my own home, I've had to help my child understand that your "friend" might have "other friends" too, but that doesn't mean they don't like you anymore. Social Situations – My Friends | Flip Card Series covers these topics and many more.


I wish I had had a resource guide like this when my children were younger. They both battle reading social cues, knowing how to handle situations that might seem easy to others, or understanding others' feelings. They, like so many other children, struggle with many friends too.


This handy book is perfect for children three years of age and older. I recommend teachers, school therapists, and librarians make this book readily available for children at all times. Parents, share this book with your child because one day, they will face one or more of these scenarios, and let's help prepare them for how they should handle them. 


If you or your child have ADD, ADHD, or another condition that impacts focusing abilities, you might have difficulty staying on track with the text in the introductory pages. I found my eyes navigating away from the text on the screen and onto the shapes. The blue and green quadrilaterals behind the text were distracting. On the other hand, the thirty mini-stories were laid out beautifully, and I believe those are the pages you and your child will be more concerned with anyways.

I've been constructing reviews for over a decade and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Most of the reviews will be featured on my blog (Kam's Place), Pinterest, Instagram, BlueSky, and Goodreads. Don't forget to tip your waitress! :D
