Was macht unsere Kinder stark? Was hilft ihnen, ihr Leben zu meistern? Wie können sie sich gut in ein Miteinander einfügen? Soziale Fähigkeiten sind notwendig, um sich sicher und erfolgreich in sozialen Interaktionen zu bewegen. Damit ein Kind in der Lage ist, Freundschaften zu knüpfen oder andere Kinder für seine Belange zu begeistern, benötigt es soziale Fähigkeiten. Gleiches gilt für das Lösen von Konflikten, ohne diese in Tätlichkeiten oder wüste Beschimpfungen ausarten zu lassen. Im Mittelpunkt steht die soziale Entwicklung von Kindern im Alter von 8 bis 14 Jahren. Dieses Buch hilft Ihnen, gemeinsam mit Ihrem Kind soziale Interaktionen zu trainieren und über verschiedene Verhaltensmöglichkeiten ins Gespräch zu kommen. Mit originellen, comicartigen Bildgeschichten können Sie auch heikle Themen der sozialen Erziehung neutral adressieren. Die zu vervollständigenden Bildergeschichten fordern das Kind dazu heraus, sich in andere Personen hineinzudenken und die Folgen seiner Entscheidungen und Handlungen abzuschätzen. Beide Kernelemente sozialer Intelligenz sind ein Schlüssel für ein gutes Miteinander. Dieses Übungsbuch bietet Ihnen als Elternteil, Lehrkraft oder pädagogische Fachkraft greifbare Bausteine für den Aufbau sozialer Intelligenz bei Kindern. Eine bestimmte soziale Situation entwickelt sich mit drei Bildern in der ersten Reihe. Das Kind soll diese Geschichte sinnvoll ergänzen, indem es aus vier vorgeschlagenen Szenarien in der zweiten Reihe die aus dessen Sicht am besten passende Option auswählt. Themen der 75 Geschichten und Übungsbereiche sind: Selbst- und Fremdwahrnehmung, Perspektivwechsel, Akzeptanz und Toleranz, soziales Handeln, Umgang mit Schwierigkeiten sowie die Entwicklung von Einstellungen und Wertehaltungen. Interaktiv & digital: Zusätzlich steht der Zugang zu einem Online Übungstool bereit. Hier sind die Geschichten im Buch digital abgebildet. Dabei kann Ihr Kind selbstständig oder mit Ihrer Unterstützung sein Sozialverhalten testen oder trainieren. Die Geschichten können im Buch oder online auch als Audiodateien abgehört werden. Der Zugang zum Online Übungstool ermöglicht des Weiteren den Zugriff auf 25 Spielideen zur Entwicklung von sozialen Kompetenzen bei Kindern.

This book offers a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in the social psychology of nonverbal communication. It explores topics including social skill, empathy, adaptive advantage, emotion-reading and emotion-hiding; and examines personal charisma, memory and communicating with robots. Together, the authors present diverse, cutting-edge research on nonverbal social intelligence as an adaptive strategy for survival and success. The collection provides an effective demonstration of the interdisciplinary nature of this topic, and it's relevance to researchers across the social sciences and beyond.

Social development over one's lifetime is a complex area that has received consider­ able attention in the psychological, social-psychological, and sociological literature over the years. Surprisingl~ however, since 1969, when Rand McNally published Goslin's Handbook of Socialization, no comprehensive statement of the field has appeared in book form. Given the impressive data in this area that have been adduced over the last two decades, we trust that our handbook will serve to fill that gap. In this volume we have followed a lifespan perspective, starting with the social interactions that transpire in the earliest development stages and progressing through childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and, finall~ one's senior years. In so doing we cover a variety of issues in depth. The book contains 21 chapters and is divided into five parts: I, Theoretical Perspectives; II, Infants and Toddlers; ill, Children and Adolescents; Iv, Adults; and V, The Elderly. Each of the parts begins with introductory material that reviews the overall issues to be considered. Many individuals have contributed to the final production of this handbook. Foremost are our eminent contributors, who graciously agreed to share with us their expertise. We also thank our administrative and technical staff for their assistance in carrying out the day-to-day tasks necessary to complete such a project. Finall~ we thank Eliot Werner, Executive Editor at Plenum, for his willingness to publish and for his tolerance for the delays inevitable in the development of a large handbook.
