About this resource
What's inside this resource
Social stories use a patient and reassuring tone to teach children about social situations in a way that can be easily understood. 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 however social stories can also 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.
This social story is for children who are pulling down trousers or lifting skirts to look at other people's underwear or private parts. It explains what is meant by private parts and how it makes other people feel if you look at their underwear or private parts.
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.
