Second, social skills that help children build relationships in social life will be listed. While doing so, some parental practices will be stated to build social skills in children. Following will be the provisions of some of the resources that could be found through internet or in printed materials. In addition to the information on social skills, parents will find some practices throughout the text. Those practices will help them develop some practical knowledge to use when they aim for assisting their children. The chapter is formed by addressing three main parts: (a) Building positive relationships, (b) Building communication skills, (c) Listening empathetically and validating the child’s feeling.
