About This Product

Flexible Thinking is a very important social skill. Social Skills Stories are a great way to teach important skills to children who are struggling to understand a particular social concept such as Flexible Thinking.

Social Skills Stories use clear, concise language to break down information into small, explicit steps that help children understand what they should or should not do in a given situation. 

Skill Builders activities and visual supports/coloring book companion will help your students build the skills they need, in order to use the information presented in the story more successfully.

This story will help children who tend to have Stuck Thinking and have a difficult time understanding why they should consider other people's perspectives, i.e. be Flexible. 

Reading this social story will help children understand what it means to be flexible and to think flexibly.

The story offers children the needed practice, repetition and explicit teaching to increase their flexibility, enabling them to experience more Successful Social Relationships through improved social skills and Perspective Taking. 

Read frequently and reinforce by discussing real life examples of children (and adults) being flexible and how it made others feel.
