Whether it is thinking about hidden rules and expected behavior, developing a deeper understanding of your emotions and how you influence the emotions of others, or comparing the size of your reaction to the size of the problem, this two-book set breaks larger and more complicated social concepts down into smaller chunks to make it easier for adults to teach and kids to learn. It gives teachers, administrators, students, and parents a common language to more easily discuss social strengths and weaknesses – and therefore is a natural fit for the classroom (mainstream and special needs), clinic, and home environment! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #65bc3f;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho should use Social Thinking and Me?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo prior knowledge of Social Thinking is needed to use\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eSocial Thinking and Me\u003c\/em\u003e.

The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) defines SEL as “the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSocial Thinking is a methodology that teaches the thinking skills required to adequately engage in SEL.
