About the authors
“I feel like I live on my own planet, and everyone else lives on this one!”
I will never forget those words. In 1990, 8-year-old Eric poignantly described the pain and loneliness he experienced with his peers. He worked diligently in one-on-one therapy with me to learn the skills he needed to make and keep friends, but every week he said the same thing: “I know you like me. And my parents love me. But the kids in my class don’t. I just don’t know why.”
Eric was not alone. Virtually all of the kids I saw in one-on-one therapy told me stories about being bullied, feeling isolated and left out, and wanting desperately to have a friend. Yet they struggled to take what they learned in sessions with me and apply it in the real world, so they remained lonely and distressed. My first book, "Raise Your Child's Social IQ" was inspired by children like Eric. He inspired in me a keen desire to help lonely children gain confidence and learn new ways to interact successfully with their peers—in effect, to raise their social IQs.
Early into the process of working with kids in groups, I recognized that children cannot do it alone. Parents are vital to their children's social and emotional development. "Raise Your Parenting IQ: Moving From I've Had It to I've Got This" is a workbook for parents. My co-author, Dara Adams, and I hope that this book will inspire parents to take stock of their own successes as a parent and work to build on their already existing strengths.
As a psychotherapist, I have worked with hundreds of kids, teens and adults in groups. My passion for group therapy paved the way for "Outnumbered, Not Outsmarted: An A-Z Guide to Working with Kids and Teens in Groups" and highlights simple strategies and tips for group leaders who want to work with kids more effectively.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for any kid!
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThis is a great tool for any kid! Social rules do not come naturally for everyone and for those who struggle or need a reminder, this book is helpful. I use this in my home school once a week... we've been on the chapter about communication for awhile, lol. My son really enjoys the activities, and I make sure to do the activities when my husband is home so we can do it as a family.
Just so you are clear, you cannot really teach from the book. I read the chapter myself and sometimes I will read one or two of the scenarios to my son but I mostly talk to him about the do's and the dont's and we do an activity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Give this a try - it might just work!
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseWe have a lovely son who is very intelligent but whose social skills lag far behind his peers. As much as he often doesn't realise quite how awkward or inappropriate his behaviour is, he regularly feels fed up because he doesn't have many friends and he doesn't understand why some of the children don't want to play with him. I bought this book on an impulse, thinking that it certainly couldn't harm to have a browse through it...and it has been an absolute revelation!
Upon first starting to read this book I have to admit that I felt a little overwhelmed! Our son's social problems were pretty evident...but near the start of the book there is a list of behaviours that often indicate problems with social skills and I was shocked to see that my son exhibited most of them! Some of the behaviours I hadn't even put down to poor social skills as, I guess, they were less "in your face" than some of the others. So, I embarked upon my journey through the book feeling a little disheartened and wondering how on earth I would ever be able to help him. The book, by the way, isn't disheartening at all - in fact it's pretty upbeat and very much has a "we can do this" attitude throughout. That list was a bit of a blow to me though!
Getting past that, the book is divided up into chapters that each tackle an important social skill or set of skills. The chapters are organised so that the easier to grasp social skills are tackled first, and the trickier ones later on. The chapters are: Introduction; How to Use This Book; Getting Started; Joining In; Communicating and Conversing; Reading Social Signals; Raising Self-Esteem; Coping with Teasing; Managing Stress; Solving Social Problems; Resolving Conflicts; Managing Anger; Putting It All Together and Afterword - For parents of Children with Special Needs.
I thought that the organisation of a skill/set of skills per chapter worked really well. Each chapter has a checklist at the start that you can run through to see if it's likely that your child needs help in this area. If it looks like they're ok in that particular area then you can head straight on to the next chapter. I initially read through the whole book, but am now working through each chapter with my son at a very relaxed pace. Each chapter gives ideas for exercises that you can do with your child to help them with this skill, and I have to say that many of them have worked brilliantly for us. We've also managed to integrate quite a few of the ideas into our normal family life, so that he gets the practice that he needs. As a measure of how well it has worked so far, we recently had family visit that hadn't seen my son in a couple of months and they were amazed at the difference in him. He also came back from school yesterday and reported that he'd had a conversation with his friend, which he'd initiated! Believe me, that was a big step for him!
I'm sure that this book won't work for every child, but it really is worth giving it a go! We've discovered that our son just doesn't seem to learn social skills naturally and instead has to be taught them. I don't imagine that he's ever going to be the most natural at socialising...but this book has given me huge hope that at least eventually he should be able to function relatively comfortably in a social situation, make friends and keep them...and above all be happy :) Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars hit the nail on the head!
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI can't even say what a wonderful book this is. It gives two examples at the beginning of each chapter. The children in the examples are totally different in their personalities, but have the same social problems. I appreciate that the authors did this because usually one of the examples fit my son exactly. As I read them to him, he could recognize himself. There are step by step ideas of how to teach your child. This has made a difference in our lives.
