"I am thrilled that this book exists. As a clinical psychologist in private practice, I often see children that need some help learning and practicing social skills. I love this book because it allows me to give families a tool to practice on their own outside of therapy. It is full to the brim with lively, engaging, and effective activities and interventions for children and parents. Social skills are a part of a child's life that are often overlooked. Natasha beautifully integrates various techniques to address social skills deficits in the most important areas. These activities are wonderful ways for parents to learn how to better interact with their children based on their child's social competency. This is a MUST HAVE for kids, parents, and teachers."—Dr. Allison Solomon, Psy.D., PC, Director of the Virtual Center for Anxiety and OCD
