  Socially-skilled children feel good about themselves, perform well at school and are more likely to be socially-adjusted adults. In this book, the authors offer teachers a wide variety of possible strategies that should enable groups and individuals to have better relationships with each other. They look at how teachers can foster self-esteem and promote self-awareness. They examine groups and the essential skills of communication. Chapters on difficulties in relationships include particular problems, such as bullying. The authors also discuss the particular contexts of the classroom and playground environments, and how to create a positive social climate.
