“Why does my child have such a hard time making friends?”

Hi Nadine,

This question can be a hard one for parents to answer. Unless they are playing in your home, you aren't usually able to observe how they socialize. You might have an inkling about what's going on such as wanting to control the play, feeling anxious about socializing, or missing social cues, but what else is going on and how to help?

Imagine having a trained social skills coach who not only guides your child in real-time during their social interactions, but also offers structured lessons to build enduring social skills.

We make this vision a reality every day at Simply Social Kids!

What Our Social Skills Coaching Program Offers:

Expert Observation: Our experienced coaches discreetly observe key social interactions, identifying specific challenges your child may encounter in forming friendships.

Real-Time Coaching: Our coaches provide gentle, immediate guidance during actual social interactions, helping your child adapt and succeed in the moment.

Structured Lessons: Alongside in-the-moment coaching, we provide short, structured lessons designed to reinforce essential social skills, ensuring that your child can practice and internalize what they learn.

Timely Parental Feedback: We believe in keeping you informed and involved in your child’s progress. We provide timely written feedback after our in person sessions and a verbal summary for online groups.

Schedule a Personal Phone Call! To learn more about how Simply Social Kids can help your child thrive socially, we invite you to schedule a phone call with us. During the call, we’ll discuss your concerns about your child's social skills and our approach to determine if our program is right for your family.
