This social story helps children learn the importance of thinking before they speak and how their words can impact others. It explains that not every thought needs to be shared, especially if it might hurt someone's feelings.
Ideal for parents, teachers, and caregivers, this story encourages thoughtful and kind communication. It supports the development of empathy, emotional awareness, and respectful interactions in everyday situations.
What’s Included?
· A 18-page social story
· A shorter, adapted version with movable pictures to support engagement and interaction
Why Use This Social Story?
Social stories use gentle, clear language to explain situations, social skills, and expectations in a way children can easily understand. They are especially useful for children who experience anxiety, are on the autism spectrum, or feel more secure when they know what to expect.
How to Use the Story
· Read the story in a quiet space where your child can focus.
· Begin by reading it twice together, then revisit it regularly to reinforce the ideas.
· Try to include it as part of your daily routine.
· If the story addresses a particular challenge or behaviour, read it when those moments arise—without using it as a punishment.
· Keep the tone positive and offer lots of praise.
To keep the story in good condition, consider placing it in a display folder or laminating the pages for repeated use.
