Social Skills
Strong social skills help children, teens, and adults build meaningful relationships, communicate their needs, and navigate daily life with confidence.
đš For preschoolers, social development lays the foundation for language, play, and emotional growth.
đ Elementary aged children use these skills to make friends, work in groups, and express themselves clearly.
đ© Teens and adults benefit from social understanding in school, on the job, and in relationshipsâhelping them feel more connected, confident, and independent.
Building social skills isn’t just about “fitting in”âit’s about helping each person thrive in their own way.
