Reviews
SOCIAL RULES FOR KIDS has been an invaluable resource to me as a speech-language pathologist. The book helps all children navigate through the obstacle course of social skills. It deals with so many different social situations kids will experience at one time or another, such as what makes a good listener and how to deal with sarcasm. I have used it with children with autism spectrum disorders, nonverbal learning disorders, and clients who struggle with problem solving and pragmatic language skills. The book is written in a language that is clearly understood by children, with exact words and phrases they need to say to be successful communicators. I highly recommend this book to every parent, educator, and professional. --Penny Cohen, MA, CCC, speech-language pathologist
SOCIAL RULES FOR KIDS is an invaluable resource for any child needing a detailed, yet easy-to-read map to help navigate the social world. Sue Diamond breaks down key social skills into user-friendly, bite-sized chunks that kids can refer to quickly and apply immediately. As someone who works regularly with kids with social issues, I know how soon kids can get overwhelmed when trying to figure out how to navigate their social worlds. The way SOCIAL RULES FOR KIDS presents lessons clearly and concisely with helpful visual bullet points will help children as well as those who work with them gain the sense that building effective social tools is a manageable, attainable goal. I'm looking forward to using this book with the kids I work with, and I have no doubt it will be of great benefit. --Jeffrey E. Jessum, PhD, clinical psychologist and author of DIARY OF A SOCIAL DETECTIVE
if your child has difficulty navigating the world of unspoken social rules, this book is for you! Just when my son would appear to master one social rule, a new and more complex one always seemed to pop up in its place. His frustration and bewilderment was often heartbreaking, but Sue Diamond and her knack for providing an on-the-spot 'social rules' recipe to solve the problem always saved the day. It is exciting that this book is now available to children who cannot work with Sue personally. Her can-do, positive attitude is peppered throughout every page to provide easy-to-understand instructions for creating greater success in the slippery world of the social milieu. --Wendy Byrnes, parent, advocate
