Developing Social Awareness

Learning to be socially aware is a crucial life skill.
But for many teens, this important part of their social and emotional learning is often overlooked. This book provides young people with the essential tools they need to better understand the thoughts, emotions, and actions of others, as well as themselves.
Readers learn how using ten key skills can help people become more socially aware within friendships and families, and also at school, college, work, and in the wider community. The book provides teen case studies that highlight how using social-awareness skills helps people overcome problems and shows readers how they can work on these skills too. Recaps of tools discussed in each chapter are provided, along with studies into teen mental health that highlight why social awareness is a key life skill.
