Social Stories – Now I Get It! : Getting Angry and Sharing (Pre-K and Perfect for Kids with Autism, PDD-NOS, Speech and Language Delays, or Aspergers)
Where Kids of All Abilities Learn Through Play!
Does your child know how to behave properly in social situations? Do they need a little help? The Social Stories series (available in several books below) is a wonderful way to demonstrate appropriate behavior in real life situations. The book models polite behavior as well as including illustrations and stories for learning. I wanted to try out the ‘Getting Angry and Sharing’ book for my preschooler who sometimes has a hard time with the whole ‘mine’ thing. While she understands the word ‘share’ (especially if someone is sharing with her), it can be hard for her to give up a toy she is playing with even for a few minutes. I thought the book was bright and easy to understand for her. We have found ourselves reading it time and again just to talk about each chapter. A great way to show your child how to handle themselves if they do not feel like sharing and get upset.
Available in the following sets:
- Saying Excuse Me, Please and Thank You
- Getting Angry and Sharing
- Answering Questions and Saying Hi and Bye
- Talking About My Day and When Things Change
- I Don’t Understand and Giving & Getting Help
- Playing With A Friend and Winning & Losing
About Fun and Function: If you believe in it, stick with it. Fun and Function may have a focus on normalizing children with special needs but they really produce products to enable all children to play together. Creator Aviva Weiss (who is a pediatric occupational therapist) was inspired to start Fun and Function with her husband after they discovered one their children had a sensory processing disorder. It is said that the special needs demographic has spiked by 13% in the US alone for children under 18, so it is important that even if you do not have a special needs child (which I do not) that you enable your child the ability to play with children who have differences from each other. Bravo Aviva!

Sounds like a great set to help kids learn to deal!
Thanks for introducing us to this.
These look adorable! thank u so much for sharing!
These books look great. I like to use books to introduce a concept to kids and then re-inforce what they’ve learned in a real world setting.
