Social Stories for Kids in Conflict

Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
Social Stories for Kids in Conflict by John Ling is a practical guide aimed at helping young people understand and improve their behaviour, especially those facing difficulties in their relationships and interactions. The book emphasises mediation techniques, including communication improvement, barrier breaking, restoring justice, and making amends. It provides dialogues used by neutral facilitators, cartoons and visuals to explore behavioural issues, and a variety of social stories covering personal, social, educational, and recreational contexts. Additionally, it offers guidance on creating personalised social stories and includes a PowerPoint presentation for staff, parents, and carers.

Developed from experience working with children and young people with Autism, Asperger Syndrome, and related behavioural challenges, as well as those without a formal diagnosis, this revised second edition expands the collection of social stories to help all young people gain awareness of their behaviour and its impact on others.

  • Dialogues used by a neutral person to highlight difficulties and possible changes in behaviour.
