Nonverbal communication plays a major
role in interpersonal relationships and thus can help or hinder a
child’s social success. Yet nonverbal language skills are seldom taught
in a formal way. Using a wonderful textbook written by psychologists and
educators who have done extensive research in this area, this course
presents a variety of techniques adults can use to help children improve
their nonverbal communication skills.
*This course uses the textbook Teaching
Your Child the Language of Social Success and you must have a copy to
do the course. If you do not have a copy of this book, you may purchase
one from us for $14.00. More than one student may share the textbook, but
every student must have their own copy of the course book Teaching
Nonverbal Language Skills.
