I have been reading this book one chapter per week and talking with my five year old son about the suggestions given. We laugh and make it a fun role playing time. The subject matter is wonderfully on the money and the suggestions for talking or explaining to your child are very enlighting and helpful. A good buy and a really helpful book.

It just didn't click with the challanges that we are trying to address.

Ms. Cohen's book fills a niche- there aren't many clearly written books available that include experiential exercises for parents struggling with this difficult issue. Raise Your Child's Social IQ provides parents with practical tools and provides a means for them to partner with their children. Thank you!

As a Grandparent of eight grandchildren, I have read Cathi Cohen's book with great interest and have recommended it to the parents of our grandchildren. It is a simple building block approach to acquiring social skills and self confidence in children who are struggling to be accepted and do not know why they they are meeting with failure. It is extremely beneficial to the parents who may be challenged in trying to help their youngsters meet with success. I only wish I had it available when I needed it.

Raise Your Child's Social IQ is a "must have in your back pocket" therapeutic cookbook for working with children presenting with social skill deficits. We use it regularly in our pediatric group psychological practice. You will find the book to be well-organized and logical in its presentation. Importantly, its easy for parents to understand and use along with your child's clinician in developing targeted treatment goals and implementing them in the child's daily life. Our typical approach is for the parents to use one of our copies for their work with the child at home. Together, clinician and parent(s) make a formiable therapeutic team. If you have or treat children with social skill problems and you don't have this book you have missed the boat on an excellent resource.
