Anyone know websites with social skills learning on them?

[mumofthreebeauties]

The other thread on web sites for 5 and 6 year olds prompted me. I have been looking for sites to play alongside my son teaching him about caring, not pushing etc.

If you know of any pleas let me know.

try under fives .com

Here is a good one starring Arthur the Aardvark and friends.

Thankyou,

Had a quick look at them and just what I need.

hopefuly we can do something to help a bit.

Story books are a good way of bringing up issues such as sharing, being kind, etc.

Shimmers - do you have any titles.

I tried at Borders and they didn;t have anything at all.

Good books:

Our Twitchy - about fitting in and being different
Halibut Jackson - overcoming shyness
The Last Noo Noo - giving up dummies
All for One - friendship
Ed's Day Out - it's not how you look it's what you can contribute that counts
Is It Because - dealing with bullying
Always and Forever - dealing with bereavement
The Dot - Super confidence booster

Hope that helps... RW x

Thanks very much rainbow, I will try and find them in town.

A few more book recommendations:

"It's your turn, Roger!" by Susanna Gretz is a good one about doing household chores. It has lovely illustrations too.

"The Tiger who Lost His Stripes" by Anthony Paul, illustrated by Michael Foreman, is about cooperating with others so everyone benefits.

"Pog, the monster who was afraid of children" about being kind to others and overcoming fears (again, lovely illustrations).

"Maudie and the Green Children", the Woolpit legend reworked by Adrian Mitchell, which got DS1 (age 4 or 5 when he read it) quite indignant on the racism and special needs issues raised by the book (and had me in tears - but then I was pregnant at the time!).

"Alfie Lends a Hand" (if I remember the title correctly - it's about a birthday party) by Shirley Hughes, again about being kind to others and overcoming fears.

Happy to help mo3b...
Check the contents of any titles that particularly interest you on Amazon for more info. You could then call Mini IQ and they'll put you in touch with your local associate who can order any of the titles I mentioned on your behalf and arrange delivery.

Only Ed's Day Out is available on the Mini IQ website. Others available from your local associate. Give head office a call on 0870 165 0223.

I doubt I'm the closest associate to you (Southampton) but I'd be happy to post you a catalogue if you'd like one.
