[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]We want kids to act in ways that we’re not always prepared to act. That’s why it’s important for all of us to learn (and re-learn!) proper social skills, civility, mindfulness, and generally how to be good people. Ben Farrey-Latz has produced a book of poetry that helps to do just that.
Join Ben as he speaks about “I Can Learn Social Skills” (Free Spirit Publishing, 2018) and how – through the use of rhyme and vivid, real-world examples – children (and adults!) can get a friendly, and fun, reminder of how simple skills can transform children, classrooms, and communities.
I Can Learn Social Skills is a fun, visually interesting book aimed at teaching social skills. But its mission is so much broader. Listen in and learn a little bit about a small book trying to have a big impact.

“There’s no reason an adult can’t read this book…”
“Calming strategies are calming strategies…there’s no reason adults can’t use them, too.”
“I find even as a teacher in the classroom…I calm my body and let kids know it’s alright to make a mistake or be angry…it’s how you deal with the anger. I think that’s the same for adults.”
“Going back and reminding kids about these things, it’s good if you model them yourself.”
“Give yourself a little bit of time to calm yourself. It’s okay to give yourself time to think through something.”
“Everybody’s coming from a different place…how can I step back and do this in a way that’s going to be respectful, and I keep myself calm.”
