Book Description

Finally a social skills program that covers all the bases!

Whether it's learning how long one can look at somebody without being accused of staring; how to shift topics, despite one's desire to stick with that all-consuming special interest; how to say no to peer pressure; or dealing with a sensitive topic - it's all here...and more. In this comprehensive and user-friendly book, the author translates years of experience working with students with Asperger Syndrome and social-communication difficulties. After brief introductory chapters on skills to target, instructional strategies, behavior management, promoting generalization, etc., as well as a special chapter by Brenda Smith Myles on relevant characteristics of autism spectrum disorders, the reader is presented with the essence of this must-have resource: 70 of the skills that most commonly cause difficulty for individuals with autism spectrum disorders and social-communication problems. The presentation of each skill consists of a reproducible skill handout, as well as activity sheets listing ways teachers and parents can demonstrate, practice, and reinforce the skill in the classroom and at home. A concluding chapter on promoting peer acceptance offers sensitivity training programs for both students of various age groups and school staff, making this a complete social skills training package for students of all ages.

Great book!.......2007-09-03

This book has step by step instructions on social skills and I love the easy to read and teach format. I don't know if my son has Asperger's, but he really struggles with social skills and this has been a great help to us.

very practical workbook.......2007-08-06

I found this book very useful. It lists skills a child should have, which are so inherent to those who don't have this probelm, they are actually hard to think of on your own. For each skill it gives examples and ways to encourage gaining the skill. Every parent whose child's social skills aren't up to par with their peers will benefit from this book.

Great for Social Skills Training.......2007-03-10

This book is an excellent resource for those who want to assist children and young adults with social skills training. There are clear cut lessons and activities that cover a variety of topics from how to greet others to asking someone on a date. Very valuable for those who need concrete examples of the correct way to approach many different social situations. Could be used for children on the autism spectrum, but also for any child who could benefit from practice in social interaction, even those who are shy. Anyone who lives and works with students who have social skills defecits would find this book useful.

Easy reading, understanding, and easy to use lessons.......2007-02-23

This book is not only good to help those in the autism spectrum with lacking social skills, but they can also be applied easily to teaching any children without autism. It is straightforward easy to use, to the point. Definitely worth the money, and was recommended to me by several mothers with more than 2 children with autism. Thanks!

A must for all kids with social skill issues.......2007-01-09

Jed Baker has done it again. This is a nice follow-up to his social picture book. This is done nicely because you can pick and choose which areas you need to work on. Most children could use help with social skills to reduce anxiety, regardless of whether they have issues. My son does not have aspergers and his social skills issues are minimum but with practice the skills he has have been greatly refined.The program can be used in parts at home by parents with minimal training or in a school environment with speech therapists etc.

Customer Reviews:

Aspergers Syndrome Emotional difficulties.......2007-06-05

An excellent book, good practical advice. A must for anyone involved with teaching a child with Aspergers Syndrome. The first few chapters breakdown in simple talk what Aspergers People have the most difficulties with. It points out the areas that are considered "normal" for Aspergers syndrome, and that your child is not the only child having these difficulties. I found this particularly useful to show to teachers and principals who are either too busy or lack the inclination to learn about the Syndrome.

The next part of the book explains the rage process, what to look out for, where the teaching zones are and where it is best left until the child has calmed down.

The latter stage of the book gives solutions to the issues that result in Tantrums and meltdowns.

A must for anyone teaching Aspergers children and a great help to parents.

Best available - for adult tantrums also.......2007-03-04

For people struggling with Asperger tantrums/breakdowns/lock-ups/rage, this book offers many insights and strategies to understand, prevent and manage the behaviour. Highly recommended.

Maybe there are others but this one is great!.......2007-03-01

I love this book. For professional reasons I find myself going back to it over and over again.

I have bought over a dozen copies of this book.......2007-01-03

This is a must have book. I have purchased a cpoy for every teacher, guidance counselor & admininstrator that comes in contact with my son on a daily basis.

This book not only gives people the insite on how to work with someone with Aspergers.. it also gives them the tools to do it. All of my sons teachers photocopy the charts & use them.

I have noticed a drastic change in how school personnel deal with my son after they read the book... it makes for a much better school environment for my son & those around him.

If I could own only one book on Asperger Syndrome..........2006-10-11

Honestly, this is a must have as far as I am concerned. It is a small book, but it is full of essential information that can help parents and professionals understand how to help individuals with Asperger Syndrome reach their potential. I have recommended this book to many parents and professionals in my work as an educational specialist and find it helpful when working as a member of an IEP team. Busy professionals and parents who advocate for children with Asperger Syndrome will find themselves referring to this book again and again.

very helpful!.......2007-09-04

I am using this book for the second time around. It's still full of fabulous information. As with anything you have to take it all with a grain of salt. I use this book reguarly to determine if I should take a toddler into the ER on the weekend or if it can wait until Monday.

I had to buy this..........2007-03-11

I had to buy this book because The Mother of All Pregnancy books was so helpful. I found the book useful already with my 14 month old and find that I need to reference it whenever new toddler behaviors decide to surface.

not the best.......2007-01-06

I wasn't totally impressed with this book. It definately has some good points and advice and there is information to be learned, I just thought it was average in the format.

This book is a lot of fun.......2006-03-23

How can you not like a book with this title? It is a huge book with tons of information. I find it a lot more helpful and user friendly than the what to expect series....but that's just my opinion...Great information - I keep it out for ideas, suggestions and to check up on my toddlers progress.

not super.......2006-03-16

I had liked The Mother of All Pregnancy Books and decided to try this one. But I don't find it nearly as complete or helpful as "What to Expect the Toddler Years". I haven't read it cover to cover, but so far I find that the sections don't delve deeply enough into topics or offer unique suggestions/advice.

Customer Reviews:

I would neither rant nor rave about this okay book.......2007-09-15

What it is: This is a short (61 pages), easy-to-read book, with lots of colorful drawings, that is aimed at helping children, ages four to eight, deal with anger. Each page features a few sentences and drawings to fit the text. It starts by describing anger and its possible consequences, depending upon how it is expressed. The book then helps "normalize" the feeling by talking about how everyone gets angry at times. It moves on to give some ideas of what to do, and what not to do, to deal with anger in better ways.

What it does well: This book does a good job of portraying anger as a normal emotion, and that will resistant or defensive ("I am not mad! Stop saying that!") children acknowledge their own anger. It also opens the discussions on what the experience of anger is, and the possible consequences of expressing anger in aggressive or destructive ways. To a lesser extent, it also opens the door on discussing what are constructive things to do when angry. The best idea in the what-to-do mode relates to describing healthy ways to use the energy associated with being angry. The kids will like the illustrations, as they are colorful and they clearly relate to the ideas of the accompanying text. That makes this a good read-along book.

What it does not-so-well: After opening the door on discussing several important topics, the follow-through is often weak. When describing the experience of anger, the book mentions a little about common thoughts, and about how thoughts, feelings, and physical responses are interconnected, but then it just moves on, too quickly. Much more could have been done with this area, with only a few more sentences, a few more pages, and a few more drawings. The thinking associated with anger is just touched upon, and needed more discussion, especially related to pairing up new thoughts with new activities, to try to deflate the anger. This is mentioned, but glossed over. Then count-to-ten method is mentioned, but this often does not work, as it is started too late in the anger-escalation process. That is why the early signs of anger needed more description in the book, as that would create the opportunity to prevent escalation. Another area that is introduced, but then glossed over, is how no one can make another person angry. By just mentioning this, without explaining it, the book opens the door for the child to cite numerous examples to dispute the idea (e.g., "But my sister always kicks me when no one is looking!"). More discussion of the distinction between provoking behavior from others, versus angry responses to such behavior, would have made the book better. Another lost opportunity!

How to best use this tool: This book is a good "launching pad" for discussing anger with children. An adult could read it to a four-year-old (with the child following the pictures); an adult and a six-year-old could read it together, and an eight-year-old could read it to the adult. An eight-year-old will need ancillary enriching discussion, or the child might dismiss the book as being for little kids, depending upon his or her reading level. I would suggest that a parent or therapist have a good plan of how to add on to what the book says, before reading it with a child. In that way, the adult could use the book to introduce the basic concepts, and then move into a constructive discussion. A good way to prepare for such a discussion is for that would be for the adult to first read either The Explosive Child: A New Approach for Understanding and Parenting Easily Frustrated, Chronically Inflexible Children or Transforming the Difficult Child.

Chris McCallister, Ph.D., Child Psychologist

Just what I was looking for.......2007-06-27

This book is just right for children who struggle with controlling their anger. My 5 year old son is so engaged with the book, he carries it around and asks everyone to read it with him. I think it's reassuring to him that he is not the only one who struggles with anger. We also bought "Don't feed the monster on Tuesdays" He really enjoys that book as well, he is a little perfectionist and the book helps him to have a more relaxed approach to things going wrong and making mistakes. I love the books and can see me ordering the others soon.

Children's Anger-Control Book.......2007-01-16

Great book! Well written. Helps kids "get it". Recommended.

Don't Rant and Rave.......2003-02-23

I'm a therapist in private practice. I send this book home with elementary school age children and they love it so much that they don't want to bring it back! They are relieved to know that they are not the only ones who get angry. The book gives them great tips on how to calm down. Moser knows children and has a sense of humor. Enjoyable pictures.

Good One..........2002-11-16

I'm a school counselor and use this one with my middle elementary aged kids (3-4 grade). They enjoy it and it's easier for them to understand. I really recommend this one.

I see light at the end of the tunnel.......2006-09-25

I am so thankful for this book.I was desperatley searching for help. I ordered 3 books. Two were beautiful paperbacks and then this little paper back. I threw it aside because i didnt like the way it looked (small book and printing was small) After reading the 1st 2 and being very disapointed i finally picked up this one, and i was hooked. For once a book that not only offers suggestions but gives you steps to accomplish them. My son is 7 and adopted (at birth)has ADHD, ODD and some fetal alcohol problems. Nothing seemed to work and i was losing all hope of ever having any peace in our home. The hold down method seemed somewhat extreme but i had no luck with making him stay in time out. I decided to do exactly what the author suggested and i was determined to take it as far as i needed. I had to hold him for a solid 2 1/2 hours the first time. He tryed biting, cursing, spitting and anythng else he could do to get me angry. He was shocked that nothing he could do seemed to upset me. (on the outside anyway)The rest of the day went well. The next morning i was praying that he wouldn't hit anyone again because i was so sore i wasn't certain i could hold him down. Well, he did and i had to hold him again. This time i only had to do so for 1 hour and 10 minutes, the next day 20 minutes and that was 6 weeks ago. I havent had to do it again until yesterday, and that one was an amazing 5 minutes. He has been more loving toward me than i could ever imagine. He wants to be with me and it is enjoyable. The book suggests that you use this with only 1 or 2 of the biggest issues. Ours was hitting anyone he walked by. This is to establish authority in the home. Children with ODD tend to put themslves on the same level as adults. Children need to be secure knowing that they have boundries. I used to let him get away with things because i couldn't find away to keep him from it. I walked on eggshells to keep any confrontation from happening. I am certain now that he wasn't secure and was crying out for me to set boundries for him. My have big hopes for my son. He is the next generation and i cannot allow him to continue down that road of destruction. It may seem extreme to some but ODD is not just being hard to get along with. It's the toughest thing i have ever dealt with. I have 3 married children, have fostered 52 and adopted 3. ODD is real and one of the hardest types to deal with. You are not sterotyping your child but doing something for him that will enable him to get along in the real world. God doesn't let his children get away with things. The Bible says that the Lord disciplines those he loves. It isn't alway plesant but it is always for our best. I ordered another for my sons teacher. Of course there are things she can't do but many others she can and we can work together.

Worth owning.......2006-09-08

I happened upon this book at the library when I was desperately trying to deal with my 2 yr-old's tantrams, hitting, unsocial behavior. I think it is fabulous. As many others have said here, the authors offer great techniques and the couple of pages of "brain dead phrases" appear to be incredibly useful for now and for the future. I found many of the ideas in here so important that I want to own the book so I can refer to it any time. I also have a feeling those "brain dead" phrases are going to be a life-saver as my daughter grows up. Definitely get this book if you need some great ideas to help refocus your parenting skills, time, effort and want to change your child's anti-social frustrating behavior.

Solid Practical Advice.......2006-05-16

Our 8YO was recently diagnosed with PDD (a form of autism) and his psychologist recommended this book. I'm usually skeptical about these things, so I was a little hesitant. But I'm happy to say that the advice in this book was very good. I like the idea of parents having the tools to cope with difficult children while not having to resort to physical punishment or yelling. It's all about keeping your cool and being 1-step ahead of your difficult child (who as in our case, and in probably most cases, is highly intelligent and knows exactly how to press buttons). The best thing we could do for our children (especially the difficult ones) is teach them responisibility and consequences for their actions....either that, or they'll learn it the hard way in the "real world". I've already recommended this book to friends and will continue to do so.

Susan Ashley, Ph.D. Author of The ADD and ADHD Answer Book.......2005-11-01

As a child psychologist who deals with the most difficult of children I save "Try and Make Me" when all else has failed. Parents who are at the end of their rope will find unique ideas in this book. It is best used with the help of a child psychologist who can help you put the techniques into action effectively and guide you along the way. If you have to use this book, you probably could use a professional to help you.

If your kid is driving you crazy, get some realistic advice here .......2005-10-15

This book is the best I've seen on handling crazy-making kids. My son certainly qualifies as one of those. I've found the Hold Down technique to be really helpful.

Book Description

Everyone thinks they know the real Gordon Ramsay: rude, loud, pathologically driven, stubborn as hell.

Now, for the first time, the world's most famous—and infamous—chef tells the inside story of his life: his difficult childhood, his father's alcoholism and violence, his brother's heroin addiction, his short-circuited soccer career, and his fanatical pursuit of gastronomic perfection—everything that helped mold him into the culinary talent and media powerhouse that he is today. He also dishes the dirt on the rich and famous, and takes you behind the scenes of some of the great restaurants.

Honest, outrageous, and intensely personal, Roasting in Hell's Kitchen will not only change your perception of Gordon Ramsay but that of the cutthroat world of haute cuisine as well.

This is child abuse.......2007-01-31

Parenting means to prepare a child for life, to nurture, to love, to guide, to teach.
Discipline is loving guidance, not corporal punishment, where the child in a demeaning and destructive way wrongly learns that violence is a form of acceptable communication and guidance, by parents. There are no benefits to hit a child - It is destructive for a child's self worth, self esteem, and demeaning and disrespectful. Children have feelings and emotions as adults. It is extremely unfair and disgraceful of parents to misuse their power on weaker people - our children - who are defenseless and who don't have their own voice. Your child will be confused and think "Why is my mother and father whom I love and trust inflicting pain on me?" Hitting a child, will separate the bond between parents and a child, and will only make the child fearful of their parents. In addition, hitting a child won't teach and guide a child towards better behavior in a constructive and communicative way. By slapping someone, what do you learn? Nothing - only that it is okay to be antisocial and misbehave and to be violent. Parents who hit their children are THE ONE'S misbehaving. They are no good role models. These parents need parenting classes and therapy as they are victims of abuse themselves. These parents are out of control and out of knowledge.
Think of the Golden rule: Treat other people, yes children are people too, as you with to be treated yourself, with respect, love and kindness. Children are children: They need a safe place to explore their boundaries and to test their parents' love, where parents act as wise, patient, and loving parents- as parents. Why spank a child whose brains are not yet fully developed? Children don't know right from wrong - It is our job to guide and teach them, not punish them. Christians should know better that "spare the rod, spoil the child" from Proverbs in Old Testament is not current any longer. Remember- With Jesus comes a better way, a New Law: The New Testament. Jesus does not spank the children. Jesus says "Let the children come to me". Jesus loves the little children. My fundamental questions are: Why do these parents give birth to children in the world if they can't raise children and love children? Where is the human intelligence here? These dysfunctional parents have grave limitations when it comes to parenting children, as they have not healed from their wounded past and subconsciousness. Their only driving force is to let the child take away their own pain from abuse, by forcing them to pay the price for their own pain, and force the child know how it feels like to be abused.

back to basics.......2006-10-15

I really wish I had this book when I was raising my daughter. The book gave very good ideas about ways to teach without throwing a fit or having one back in your face from the toddler. The idea of spanking is long gone as a means of discipline and this book gave many ideas of ways to instruct, draw boundaries without causing high blood preasure for the parents and I really see how it works with my grandchildren.

James Dobson is a sadist and a pervert.......2006-08-19

Pinching a child's trapezius muscle? Hitting him or her with a belt or a stick hard enough for it to hurt? James Dobson should be put away.

Raising children this way may make them obedient to their parents, but they will be prone to abuse others once they reach adulthood. Look at Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein.

At best, children who are physically abused will grow up to practice BSDM.

This book deserves no stars.

0 Stars.......2006-08-18

Or how about negative stars. This book is dangerous. You can't even call this a philosophy of child rearing. Rather, it is a tantrum of it's own. Foolishness on paper.

Don't buy this!.......2006-08-10

If you want lovely, happy children, buy a parenting book that teaches love. If you want children scared of you, then get this one. Dobson is cruel to say that children are "rambunctious, pugnacious, fat little fingers, little Goody-Two-Shoes, unruly tyrant, little tigers, Tony Tornado, sour, sullen, ill-tempered", in which they are not. To also say that babies are tyrants from a young age and need beatings is horribly wrong.

great book.......2007-08-06

My 28 month old loves the books in this series, and we have unfortunately needed them. He related to the pictures of the injured and offended, and it has really helped his behavior. This one focuses a lot more on what feet should do, more so than the Teeth Are Not For Biting does with the teeth, which is good and bad.

Excellant teaching book.......2007-05-08

Great book if your toddler has been kicking lately. Teaches good behavior as well as phrases that you can use to stop bad behavior. Highly recommend this book.

Two Two Year Olds...A MUST.......2007-04-09

Bought this for my one twin who likes to kick. I think he is getting the point :-)

LOVE this book and its simple, effective message.......2007-01-10

We bought this book for our 19-month-old daughter when she hit and bit another child at school. At the time, she used to kick me when I changed her diaper, and her daycare had a copy of this book, so I bought it, along with "Hands Are Not For Hitting" and "Teeth are Not For Biting."

All three books are great. They are very simple, straightforward, with pictures and language toddlers can understand. The repetitive phrases like "Ouch, Kicking Hurts," and "Feet are not for kicking people," are phrases my daughter has remembered, and that we have adopted in our house in the event that she hits or kicks, as many kids this age tend to do from time-to-time.

Our daughter just turned two and still loves to read these books and has retained the lessons therein. It's a great series.

Side Note: The "Hands Are Not For Hitting" that we ordered here from Amazon is NOT a board book, and it's language is a little more advanced for a very young toddler, but you can "customize" the language and your little one will still love it!

Great reference guide!.......2007-03-12

Details on everything you need to know and don't know to ask!

wonderful book.......2007-02-08

This book has been very helpful to me. I plan on using it for several more years as my daughter grows up.

Ok book if you have others to get advice from.......2006-10-21

This book was good for some very basic info on toddlers. I didn't like the format because it jumped from one thing to another. Most of the info seemed to be geared toward 2 years and up, and the section on feeding was boring. It was mostly about the food pyramid and RDA's. Ugh.

Waste of Money.......2005-03-03

I found this book to be a total waste of money. Sure it has a few interesting pieces of information, but nothing I haven't heard before. This book may be useful if you have never had any experience with children. If you have been around children at all, you will find everything in this book to be pure common sense. I was looking for something with more concrete usable information.

A must read.......2004-06-28

I borrowed this book from the library and loved it so much that I decided to purchase one for myself. I highly recommed it to any parent with toddlers. Touches on so many subjects with useful, reasonable suggestions.
