First published in 2003. Children's Friendship Training is a complete manualized guide for therapists treating children with peer problems. This unique, empirically validated treatment is the first to integrate parents into the therapy process to ensure generalization to school and home. Representing over twelve years of research, Children's Friendship Training presents the comprehensive social skills training program developed by these pioneering authors. Step-by-step interventions help children develop the skills to initiate mutually satisfying social interactions. These interactions can lead to higher regard within the peer group and the development of satisfying dyadic relationships that will, in turn, serve to enhance overall well being. Clinical and empirical rationales, illustrative case examples and parent handouts that educate parents and give specific guidelines for homework assignments are presented for each treatment module. Brief relevant reviews of the child development literature and selective reviews of assessment techniques and other approached to children's social skills training are presented to sufficiently acquaint therapists interested in implementing children's friendship training.

I'll admit, I'm partial. I love it when things are broken down into simple steps that make sense. I'm a scientist at heart, and social skills training is a science to me. The evidence-based approach to teaching conversational skills is actually quite straightforward. 1,2 The key ingredients are getting the learner to focus on the target behavior and providing practice in this behavior. This means breaking down complex conversations into manageable chunks and having the learner practice each step of the conversation until it becomes automatic. The process involves breaking down conversations into chunks (e. g. , introducing yourself, asking a question, making a statement, posing a yes/no question). The chunks can be as short as one or two sentences or as long as a full exchange of information (e. , Hi, my name is ___________, and this is ___________. Is ___________ there. ). The chunks should be practiced until the learner can do them smoothly and automatically (e. #2 The key to teaching your child social skills is breaking down complex conversations into manageable chunks and having them practice each step of the conversation until it becomes automatic. #3 To teach social skills, break down complex conversations into manageable chunks and have the learner practice each step of the conversation until it becomes automatic. #4 The key to teaching your child social skills is breaking down complex conversations into manageable chunks and having them practice each step of the conversation until it becomes automatic.

Mathilde Monaque developed severe depression when she was just 14. The eldest in a family of six and an exceptionally bright and gifted little girl, the discovery shook her family to the core. Trouble in My Head is Mathilde's tender and illuminating account of her struggle to surface from a disease that could have taken her life. With remarkable sensitivity and lucidity she describes her experience of depression, her days in the teenage hospital and her battle to conquer the disease. Mathilde's perspective as a sufferer of teenage depression is unique. Unlike adult depression which involves feelings of guilt, Mathilde describes teenage depression as a breaking down of certainties, the fear of being oneself, the fear of not loving and of not being loved. Adults and teenagers alike will find inspiration and insight in her touching and remarkable account.

If each of us put the world before anything, I truly believe the world will be in a better position. Let's try to do things the easy way it's meant-the right way. We are very intelligent people, and we know what is right and wrong. My book will tell you how to move forward with a better life for you.
