Sorry if this isn't the right place for this question as my son doesn't have SEN as such but I thought people might have good experience of helping develop social skills in children where it doesn't come naturally.
I had another meeting with my son's teacher today and she has flagged (again) the difficulties he is having with certain things:
- respecting other's personal space (he's not usually aggressive but touches a lot, hugs and kisses when not wanted etc)
- talking 'at' people, not being able to wait to speak, interrupting, asking the same questions endlessly until someone answers him without being able to just wait 2 minutes
- showing any awareness that his actions effect other people
I'm sure a lot of this is normal 6 year old behaviour but I want to help him develop social skills if I can as he is finding it difficult to make friends.
Does anyone know of any good books/exercises/reading resources that I can use?
Thanks in advance.
