What is a social story?
Social stories are clear, short stories that are an effective way to teach positive behaviour without shame or pressure, giving them context for the children. I love using social stories with all of my learners! They all benefit from these formats. This story helps children recognise emotions, develop self-regulation and understand how to treat toys gently so they can enjoy them for longer.
