Thursday Tuning our Engines
Social thinking is what we do when we interact with people- we think about them. How we think about people affects how we behave, how others respond to us, and our own emotions.
Our social skills sessions develop children’s skills to think about others and how to modify their behaviours in response. Sessions develop theory of mind, perspective, self-awareness and others, body language, the way we talk, conversation skills and assertiveness.
