Overview
Communication skills for kids that help them build stronger relationships with adults. Whatever kinds of grown-ups kids have in their lives, one thing is for sure: Life is better (and a whole lot simpler) when kids and grown-ups get along. And while grown-ups want kids to be respectful and thoughtful—toward everybody, not just grown-ups!—kids also deserve to be respected and treated thoughtfully. How to Take the GROAN Out of Grown-Ups (and Get Along!) provides practical communication skills for kids and shows them how to build relationships, have difficult conversations, and know when to seek more trusting adults. Relationships with grown-ups can be fun and fulfilling. They can lead to good times and great memories. They can make life better in all kinds of ways. (Like getting to eat French toast nachos for dinner once in a while!) How to Take the GROAN Out of Grown-Ups (and Get Along!) provides communication skills for kids that will help them build positive relationships with the adults in their lives. Laugh & Learn® Series Self-help, kid-style! Realistic topics, practical advice, silly jokes, fun illustrations, and a kid-centric point of view all add up to one of the most popular series that young people turn to for help with school, families, siblings, and more. Kids ages eight to thirteen can tote these pocket-size guides anywhere and learn to slash stress, give cliques and rude people the boot, get organized, behave becomingly, and in general hugely boost their coping skills.
