Social Skills Group for Grade 1/2 Students

Are you concerned because your son or daughter has difficulty making friends at school?
Do you often hear reports from their teacher about their disruptive behaviour in class?
Do they have a tendency to talk over their parents or siblings at the dinner table, or prefer only to talk about a small variety of topics that are interesting to them?

Your child may benefit from some targeted and explicit social skills instruction, including how to talk to people you have just met, how to keep a conversation going, how to play nicely with other people and even being more assertive and standing up to bullies.

Speaking of Learning is looking to run a group for grade 1 and 2 students that will explore some of these issues. This group would run from Monday 22nd - Thursday 25th September (first week of the school holidays) from 10-11.30am.

In a safe setting, children will be encouraged to interact with each other to practice their social skills, and will participate in activities related to teaching them some of the finer points of social interaction.

For more information, or if you would like to book your child a place in this group, please contact our office on 9873 7043 or info@speakingoflearning.com.au.
