The Why, What, and How of Teaching Children Social Skills
McArthur, Janice R.
Social Studies, v93 n4 p183-185 Jul-Aug 2002
Lack of courtesy among children is a social trend that, along with the decline of the family, the troubling character of some young people, and the lack of shared ethical values, is of some concern. In this article, the author discusses why it is important to teach pro-social behavior and suggests some ways of doing so in the classroom.
