What Can I Say?: A Kid's Guide to Super-Useful Social Skills to Help You Get Along and Express Yourself

by Catherine Newman, Debbie Fong
What Can I Say?: A Kid's Guide to Super-Useful Social Skills to Help You Get Along and Express Yourself
What Can I Say?: A Kid's Guide to Super-Useful Social Skills to Help You Get Along and Express Yourself

Friendly scripts for tricky middle-school moments

This feels like the kind of book a kid actually keeps nearby because it makes awkward, confusing social situations feel manageable. Catherine Newman has a warm, non-judgmental way of showing what to say when friendship, conflict, bullying, or hard conversations come up. It’s especially great for middle schoolers who want real words they can use while still being kind, clear, and true to themselves.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Middle school is an essential time to learn and practice social skills, including how to get along with others, talk about hard things, be an ally, and be a good friend. In What Can I Say?, Catherine Newman, author of the bestseller How to Be a Person, provides supportive guidance to help kids establish and maintain meaningful relationships and effective communication with friends, teachers, family members, and others in their communities. Talking the talk can be tricky, and every page of this super-useful book provides easy, accessible scripts and guidance on the right thing to say in all kinds of situations, from how to be inclusive, listen, give advice, argue, stick up for yourself, and ask for help, to how to turn down a date, express sympathy, deal with offensive comments, respond to bullying, and be trustworthy. Humorous, graphic-style illustrations that play out familiar scenarios reinforce Newman’s friendly, non-judgmental tone and her commitment to helping kids develop the skills to express themselves clearly while showing empathy, care, and generosity toward others.
