ABSTRACT
The basic tasks we have described in Chapter 6 afford children the opportunity to attend to the emotional components of interpersonal behaviours (Activity 1); to make and to justify their relative judgements about different pro- and anti-social behaviours (Activity 2); to consider different ways of responding to other children’s social behaviours (Activity 3); and to develop skills of interpersonal communication, evaluation and explanation in relation to such behaviours (Activity 4). However, in introducing these activities in the classroom or at home, teachers and parents will readily perceive that the materials may be used in a variety of ways. In this chapter, we make some suggestions for other tasks which can be both interesting for children, and beneficial for their interpersonal thinking and social behaviour, but readers should feel in no way constrained by our proposals. The central aims of focusing children’s attention upon, and assisting their awareness of interpersonal behaviours may be achieved by other, more innovative or locally relevant uses of these or similar materials.
