In today’s episode we are joined for a second time by Susie Allison, M. Ed., a former teacher and creator of Busy Toddler.

  • What did Susie post that instigated this conversation?
  • Why did Susie make the reel?
  • What is the real definition of “social skills”
  • How exactly can a parent teach a child social skills?
  • How can parents intentionally model emotion regulation skills?
  • How and when can a parent teach conflict resolution to their child?
  • Are all social skills mostly learned in school?
