Social Coaching Through Child-Directed Play

Equipping parents with skills to coach young children in a fun way

Through the successful formation of friendships, children learn social skills such as cooperation, sharing and conflict management. The formation of friendships or its absence has an enduring impact on the child’s social adjustment later on in life. This programme from The Incredible Years® provides positive parenting strategies that will be useful for all parents.
