Social Skills

The common result of various problems that can disrupt development starting from childhood is that they lead to behaviors that will prevent social adaptation and emotional satisfaction. A meaningful social life, a satisfying emotional exchange, occurs when we can make room in our minds for someone else.

The book in your hand explains the subject in an understandable language and makes room for others in the lives of children and young people with practical suggestions that will ensure learning. - Prof. Dr. Yankı Yazgan

In this book written by Burcu, Sezen and Helin, we will all find something of ourselves.

It is a very nice, applied study that will meet a great need. - Prof. Dr. H. Serpil Erermiş

I wish that such studies and discussions will increase... - Behiç Ak

It evolves into reading the mind of the other, reflective identification, empathy, and socialization… My colleagues who are very experienced in their fields have explained this multifaceted and complex development process in a simple language by photographing it from different angles. They have transformed the socialization process, which I consider an invaluable skill for success in life, into a valuable work, kneaded with current knowledge and experience. I would like to thank my colleagues for this valuable book that I believe will be very useful for families and my colleagues working in the field…
