Speak Up and Get Along! by Scott Cooper

A friendly toolbox of social skills for kids

Scott Cooper offers 21 concrete, kid-friendly strategies for handling the everyday social challenges of childhood, from making friends and resolving small arguments to standing up to teasing and bullying. Each named "tool," like the Mighty Might for defusing teasing or the Thought Chop for shutting down self-defeating thoughts, is explained clearly and brought to life with real-world stories and practice dialogue kids can actually use. This updated edition also covers navigating social media and cyberbullying, plus a section for the adults supporting them. A genuinely useful, encouraging resource for any child working on assertiveness and social confidence.
