Body Language for Kids - Short stories that teach eye contact, tone of voice, personal space and how to tell when a friend is upset, each with a coach tip and a practice game for parent and child #1012581

Your child stands too close, looks at the floor, misses the joke, or does not notice a friend is upset, and nobody ever taught them how to read the signals. You do not need a lecture. You need a story, a tip and a game. Body Language for Kids teaches one nonverbal skill per short story, with a coach tip for you and a five-minute practice game for the two of you. Unlike books of ready-made scripts for what to say when kids are left out or teased, or books about party manners, this one focuses on what faces, voices, bodies and distance are saying, and it puts comfort first: no forced eye contact and no pressure to act like anyone else. Inside, you'll learn: Read a story together, play for five minutes, and watch your child get a little more curious about the people around them. A Quick Reference, glossary and FAQ keep the key ideas on one page.
