Social Skills Groups and Resources for Kids and Teens

Social Skills Groups, DBT Groups & Summer Camps for Children in Cary NC & Raleigh

Competent social skills (cooperation, sharing, listening, being respectful, etc) are critical to successfully interacting with others. Children who lack these skills can experience behavioral and emotional difficulties, trouble making friends, peer rejection, bullying, poor self-esteem, depression, concentration difficulties, academic failures, aggressiveness, and delinquency. Kids with social anxiety, learning disabilities, sensory integration difficulties, Asperger's Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, neurological disorders, and emotional disabilities often need extra help. Fortunately, social skills can be taught by trained professionals. And in a safe environment, these newly learned skills can be practiced and mastered.

Wynns Family Psychology offers targeted and effective Social Skills Groups for kids in every age group, from pre-schoolers to teenagers. Throughout the year, we offer Preschool / Kindergarten Social Skills Groups, Elementary School Children Social Skills Groups, Co-Ed Middle School Social Skills Groups, Girls Middle School Social Skills Groups, Boys Middle School Social Skills Groups, Teen / Adolescent Social Skills Groups, Teen Dialectical Behavior Therapy DBT Groups, Parenting Help Training Groups, and No Wimpy Parenting Groups for Moms. During the summer, we also offer unique week-long Social Skills Summer Camps such as our Young Children's Social Skills Summer Camp, Children's Social Skills Summer Camp, High School Teenager Life Skills and Social Skills Summer Camp, and even a Tween and Teen Study Skills Summer Camp.

The National Association of School Psychologists now includes the training in its recommended curriculum. In the past, social skills training was exclusively used for students with diagnosed problems such as autism, but psychotherapist Kristen Wynns in Cary NC believes more children now need basic training on how to relate to others.

Having your child hang out with other kids at the playground is good but if he is unsure of how to interact appropriately with others, the play time can end quite abruptly.
