This fun-filled book is filled with comics that are designed to show teenagers the expected ways to behave in typical social situations. Each situation is depicted in a "Wrong Way" scenario and a "Right Way" scenario. Detailed photos prompt teens to take a closer look at body language and nonverbal cues. Interactive activities encourage teens to apply the scenarios to situations they have encountered in their lives.
Created by Mike Canavan and Lawrence Shapiro, Ph.D. Based on a widely accepted technique developed by Carol Grey, each card presents a basic social concept that children need to learn to get along with family members. The stories help children pay attention to important social cues, to understand the perspective of others, and to respond appropriately in social situations. Each story is followed by bulleted highlights and a set of interactive questions to stimulate discussion.The photographs on each card were selected to provide children with a visual understanding of the challenges in getting along with others.
