Helping Children Learn to Navigate the Social Demands of Recess
Dominique Baudry and Jahna Pahl will share ideas on concrete strategies to ease some of the social anxiety of children and teenagers. They will discuss social learning groups and the role they can play in helping a child develop and expand their tools for handling social situations. As children age, the peer group takes on increasing importance, and for the child with learning differences this can become an increasingly painful experience. Social learning groups provide a supportive and unique environment for children to learn and practice these valuable skills, such as how to join a conversation, how to join a group, how to figure out what is happening in a social situation and how to initiate and sustain conversations with others.
