SOCIAL BUTTERFLIES

GIVE YOUR CHILD THE TOOLS TO SUCCEED IN SOCIAL INTERACTIONS

At Social Butterflies, we work with children of all ages to empower them to be successful communicators at school and at home. Using a cognitive behavioral approach, we teach our clients how to think and problem solve in their daily social interactions. In order to achieve lasting success, we believe we must first work on the child's core by increasing their social and emotional awareness of themselves and those around them. Our approach follows this methodology by building-up the child’s self-esteem and increasing comfortability with themselves and their emotions. With these fundamentals firmly in place, we then progress to learning social skills. Some of the specific areas we work on include: self-esteem, emotional awareness, perspective taking, problem solving, how to be a good friend, conversational and listening skills, flexibility, boundaries, personal space, self-control, and bullying. This approach results in a child who is a confident, aware, well-adjusted, successful social communicator.
We look forward to working with you and meeting success!

As a parent with a child facing emotional and social issues, finding a direction seems daunting.  Morah Shana was able to assess the situation and come up with a game plan.  Her program is extremely practical and she empowers both the parent and the child.  She creates an atmosphere in which the child can really open up, succeed and blossom.  We feel so fortunate to have Morah Shana as a partner in our son's growth and development!
