For many children, it can be challenging to start up a conversation, join in a conversation, ask questions and participate in social activities. Learning how to effectively communicate in social settings can help us make friends more easily and participate comfortably and confidently in social situations.

The Programme will address and develop a range of social skills including:

• Emotional awareness, identification and expression
• Understanding and using body language
• Listening skills
• Conversational skills
• Sharing
• Giving compliments
• Advocating for yourself
• Assertiveness
• Building and maintaining positive friendships
• Problem solving in social situations
• Compromising and losing appropriately
