One of the biggest questions I've been asked lately is how to help young kids develop social skills—whether it's because their preschools are currently closed, or their parents just want to make sure their kids thrive.
It's a valid concern—but also one that you can learn to address right at home.
I sat down with the wonderful Monica Silvestro—yup, the Monica Silvestro of 10-Minute Preschool fame & my favorite person of all-time—to discuss all her best tips for how parents can help their kids learn necessary social skills at home.
See, Monica is an early childhood educator—and a well-loved one at that. She began her career in health communication, developing curricula for kids and teens to best learn about health and nutrition. She then segued into working directly on nutrition counseling, before combining many of her skills to transition into early childhood education.
Monica shares some excellent tips that every parent can use at home—no matter the age of your kids.
