social skills coaching

---

Social skills refer to a range of skills that we use every day when we interact and communicate with people around us. They include verbal and non-verbal communication such as speech, gesture, facial expression and body language.  These skills are important because they can help children to  communicate, relate to, and connect more effectively with others to form positive relationships.

At "Hey Nien", our approach to coaching social skills is to focus on developing three core characteristics that are vital for learning. 

These include the ability to:

1. Stay FOCUS on a task and concentrate for an extended period of time

2. Be CURIOUS and ask questions to seek and understand through the 5W+1H concept 

(What, Where, Why, When, Who and How)

3. Be RESILIENT and manage fears and anxieties associated with learning the unknown

We reinforce these skills during the sessions and incorporate various aspects of social skills through use of scripts, prompts, practice, play and modelling. 

We offer an obligation-free assessment to understand you and your child's needs and discuss how our service can support you.
