Editorial Reviews

Review

"Just what I wanted ... basic social skills broken down into clear steps that I can go through many times with my students who need instruction in this area." - Vicki, Amazon



"This was just what I was expecting. Great to use with inner city kiddos with low social skills." - Laura L. Bates, Amazon



"We are incorporating the boys town model into our school in order to teach social skills. 95% of our students are classified as poverty and they come to us with little social skills in order to succeed at school and in the work place. We just started, but are having tremendous success with the model as outlined in the book. I found the book easy to read, a great resource to compliment "Teaching Social Skill to Youth" the Step by Step Guide." - Cherri Byford, Amazon

Attempted to apply on my kids, but didn't really seem to work. Requires extreme discipline, commitment, and patience. Very strict program and concept. Probably best with troubled youth and not just typical struggles of growing young children. I'll attempt and consider anything. Possibly some concepts are useful or at least could be in the future. Moderate recommendation.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good quick reference for behavior issues in foster children
Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2009
Verified Purchase
I bought this small reference after reading Boys Town's larger foster parent guide, as that book mentions this one. In both books, the material about "Social Skills" is presented in a very concrete, teachable manner: here's the behavior you want to see; here's why it matters; here's what it looks like when you do it right. Looking at these behaviors as social skills -- important to the child's relationships in the world, and his way of moving through society -- is intuitively the right approach. To a damaged child, some of the more "anti-social" behaviors he has internalized have been very useful to his survival, so why should he stop them? Lying protected him from consequences, stealing got him food or other things he needed. By looking at the behaviors as damaging to his relationships, and not condeming the child for learning the "wrong" skills in the past, we have a good tool for seeing positive change. I remind myself (almost daily!) that our foster kids ARE capable of learning: look at the skills (for better or worse) that they have learned already! A quick read overall, and a good reference to have on hand for those "what do I do now?" moments.
