Hurting Others Social Story Bundle
By SEN Resource Source
Teach children the importance of kindness and respect with our "Hurting Others" Social Stories Bundle. This set of 10 social stories is designed to help children understand why it's important not to hurt others and how to use gentle actions and words instead. Each story provides clear guidance and positive alternatives, promoting a caring and safe environment for everyone.
Includes:
* Biting
* Bullying
* Hair Pulling
* Hitting
* Kicking
* Scratching
* Kind Hands
* Kind Feet
* Kind Words
* Saying Sorry
The point of a social story is to use a patient and reassuring tone to teach children about social situations in a way that can be easily understood. Social stories can be useful for any child who is struggling to understand a situation or concept or needs help to understand a social skill or social cue, expectations, perspectives, common responses or is troubled about an upcoming event but social stories are particularly useful for children on the autistic spectrum for whom social cues can be challenging and who often suffer anxiety if they do not know what to expect from a situation.
These books should be used over and over to reinforce the point so I would suggest either putting the pages into a display book or laminating and binding them.
