- "Some children and young adolescents find it much harder to learn and flexibly use social skills. They can struggle with making friends, joining in, reading others' feelings, bouncing back constructively following an upset, coping with put-downs or just dealing appropriately with day to day frustrations. "What's the Buzz?" is an easy-to-implement, 16 lesson play-based social skills training program that will improve student confidence, relationships and reduce conflict. Written for teachers who support children and adolescents who may struggle with life for a variety of reasons, this book will help them to: expand their socialisation skills, for example, 'how-to' meet people and be friendly, gain attention in positive ways, follow instructions, give compliments and maintain conversations; understand their feelings and develop an emotional resiliency to better cope with the inevitable emotional highs and lows life offers; learn 'how-to' read the feelings of others and appropriately respond to their needs; value positive thinking, for example, how-to stay calm under pressure, deal with worry, handle disappointment and best respond to put-downs and bullying; and, participate in play-based activities and games, so that they acquire skills incidentally. Designed for use in schools by teachers, school counsellors, special needs co-ordinators, teaching assistants, parents and allied health professionals, the role plays, games and team building activities presented in each lesson will help to build class unity and cohesion, whilst the template format allows students to experience success, feel confident and be ready to develop more complex skills."

- "Some children, for all manner of reasons, struggle to make friends and fit in socially. "What's the Buzz?" Is a unique sixteen-lesson social skills enrichment programme designed to explicitly teach children how to think and relate to others in social situations. This lively, highly practical role-play and play-based programme targets everyday themes: how to greet, make and keep friends, fit in, read one's own emotions, read the feelings of others, deal with competition and cope with worry, frustration and disappointment more constructively. Based on an extensive body of research believed to stimulate social thinking and accomplish powerful outcomes, "What's the Buzz?" Is: (1) Sequenced--it follows a logical breakdown of each skill; (2) Active--it uses role-plays and rehearsal with feedback; (3) Focused--it dedicates time solely towards teaching a specific skill; and (4) Explicit--it teaches a specific social/emotional skill each session. The programme has proven wide appeal to teachers, counsellors, psychologists, teacher assistants, support staff and parent volunteers in schools. While tailored for small specific groups of children, it also has a broader multi-purpose scope with larger mainstream classes. Each lesson also includes extensive notes offering parents and teachers handy ideas to reinforce the themes presented. Following an introduction, the following lessons are included in the table of contents: (1) Meeting People and Exiting; (2) Getting Attention; (3) Following Instructions; (4) Being Friendly; (5) Competition, Winning and Losing; (6) Identifying Feelings; (7) Feelings and the Warning Signs; (8) Feelings and Thinking Positively; (9) Feelings and Ideas to Create Well-Being; (10) Empathy, Responding to Others; (11) Handling Worry; (12) Dealing with Disappointment; (13) Responding to Bullying; (14) The Connecting Art of Conversation; (15) Learning to "Fit In"; and (16) Giving and Receiving Compliments.
