We all want our to children to learn the social skills they need to thrive. Yet many kids are struggling to connect, often with no apparent reason why. What with the steep rise in screen time and the social learning lost to Covid quarantines and school closures, many kids haven't had sufficient opportunity to learn all the rules of nonverbal behaviour.

In Raising a Socially Successful Child, Dr. Stephen Nowicki reveals how to identify the non-verbal areas where a child might be struggling, and equips readers with a set of simple exercises for helping any child learn how to:

- Follow the rhythm of conversations

- Respect the boundaries of personal space

- Learn to express and read emotions in facial expressions and body language

- Understand the difference between appropriate and inappropriate touch

- Sense a person's mood based on their tone of voice

Drawing on decades of research, as well as dozens of case studies, Raising a Socially Successful Child is a much-needed, practical guide to helping children master the non-verbal skills they need to succeed in life.

Reviews for Raising a Socially Successful Child

Nowicki describes a current crisis - children who cannot form connections-but suggests a path away from danger. It's a program for every adult with a child in their life, a book of hard truths and hope. * Sherry Turkle, MIT Professor, author of Alone Together, Reclaiming Conversation, and The Empathy Diaries *
