Do You Want A Book That Teaches Your Child Social Skills?

Does your child have a hard time sharing, listening, and taking turns?

Do they struggle to read facial expressions and pick up on social cues?

Over time, have their social issues hurt their ability to make and keep friends?

Maybe you’re a parent who’s trying to help your child learn new social skills. Or perhaps you’re a teacher or social worker who’s struggling to teach these skills to children at your school. Either way, I encourage you to buy a copy of my children’s book The Magical Music Box: Emily Learns to Share. This heartwarming story teaches kids the value of sharing and the power of leaning on others for help.

The book takes place at an elementary school in an imaginary town called Sunbeam. It follows the story of Emily, a young girl who has a tough time sharing. One day, while all her friends are busy playing with each other, Emily discovers a magical music box beside a tree. At first, she is elated at the possibility of having the box all to herself. But when she realizes that she has no one to share it with, she feels sad.

The school social worker, Ms. Iris, finds Emily and tells her: “sharing is like this music box. When it’s closed, only you can see its beauty. But when you open it, everyone can enjoy its melody.” Emily proceeds to share the magical music box with the rest of her friends, allowing them all to enjoy its music together. From then on, she is the first one to share her toys, her time, her stories, and her smiles wherever she goes.

My Book Provides An Easy Way To Save Time On Your Lesson Plan

Before becoming a mental health therapist, I worked as a school social worker for many years. I often felt that I never had time to develop a lesson plan. If you purchase the accompanying workbook to The Magical Music Box, you don’t need to worry about having a lesson plan. The workbook is full of simple, easy-to-understand exercises for improving social skills. So if you’re a school social worker, consider your lesson pre-made!

What’s more, the fact that Ms. Iris is a social worker herself makes the book more relatable to children in school settings. The kids can find similarities between how you help them and how Ms. Iris helps Emily.

The exercises in the workbook are designed to teach children the value of sharing in different social situations. They involve drawing, writing, creating songs, and lots of other child-friendly activities. All in all, the workbook can be finished in about six weeks and save you weeks of preparation on your lesson plans!
