“Although adults have a role to play in teaching social skills to children, it is often best that they play it unobtrusively. In particular, adults must guard against embarrassing unskilled children by correcting them too publicly and against labeling children as shy in ways that may lead the children to see themselves in just that way.” WayMayChildrenPlaySocialRolesTeachingParticularSkillsAdultsShyEmbarrassingCorrectingLabelingSocial Skills Author:Zick Rubin
“Children, then, acquire social skills not so much from adults as from their interactions with one another. They are likely to discover through trial and error which strategies work and which do not, and later to reflect consciously on what they have learned.” ChildrenSocialSkillsAdultsStrategyErrorsTrialsAcquireInteractionTrial And ErrorSocial Skills Author:Zick Rubin
