Book Reviews of Social Smarts: Manners for Today's Kids
Book Review: Social smarts
Summary: 3 Stars
Little outdated ... The general population of kids today are without courtesy and rude, so this book will only touch upon those that care.
I have it for my two kids and they read it, but we are also strong in teaching our children good social skills and courtesy. I find this book helpful, and leave it on the sofa table for them to pick up and read at their leisure.
It is sad to say, when you meet kids who don't have good social skills, this book does NO GOOD. My kids feel offended that other kids are rude and this book does not introduce ways for kids to deal with other rude kids, to gain positive responses and learn from manners, or to exhibit to others how the rude child can change their mannerism. Suggestions should be offered to kids to teach them how to handle people with inappropriate behavior in a positive way.
