Volume 1 of teach2talk's Behaviors! series, Behaviors with Friends, uses targeted video modeling to help teach your child how to behave appropriately, solve problems, make good decisions and properly communicate with their friends and other peers in common social scenarios and settings. In each lesson, a scenario is introduced, and first a child makes an incorrect choice and exhibits negative behaviors, which results in appropriate consequences. Then appropriate positive behaviors are modeled to help teach your child how to make a good choice in that scenario. Lessons focus on common behavior problems, including:
? strategies to resolve conflicts with peers without resorting to tantrums, name calling or physical violence;
? self-management and dealing with anger and frustration in a positive fashion;
? sharing and taking turns with friends;
? being a good sport;
? telling the truth;
? bullying;
? not interrupting;
? being nice to friends and not taunting, and encouraging friends who are less competent instead of teasing; and
? appropriate body boundaries.
Behaviors with Friends also includes a segment for parents, which uses video examples to give you advice on how to help your child learn appropriate, positive behaviors.
