Product Description

Sample

This is a good beginning course with children’s literature for all students age or ability 6-9.

What if you could teach manners in simple lessons? What if your children could become more respectful, thoughtful, and courteous? What if someone created teachable lessons for you and placed them into a 14-week program?

With Myself & Others you and your child will:

• Improve social understanding
• Form healthy habits
• Increase safety awareness
• Learn social rules
• Practice good manners
• Role-play words and actions to use in specific situations
• Be inspired through characters from children’s literature

From the creators of the award-winning Simply Classical Curriculum, Memoria Press and Cheryl Swope, M.Ed., bring you Myself & Others: Lessons for Social Understanding, Habits, and Manners.

Myself & Others is a program for anyone who wishes to ameliorate the lamentable condition of respect, manners, and appreciation demonstrated by many children today. As parents, grandparents, teachers, and onlookers, you may be appalled by the deplorable state of courtesy and civility in children and youth as a whole. We created Myself & Others to help you do your part toward restoring common decency in our culture – one student at a time.

Our program is also for the individual child with challenges and special learning needs. Some children struggle with social understanding, cultivating good habits, and learning manners far more than other children. Children – such as those with autism, attention or executive function difficulties, mental illness, medical or neurological conditions, learning or language disabilities, or intellectual disability –  require explicit, bite-sized lessons in knowledge and skills that other children seem to absorb simply by residing in the homes of good families. Yet standard “social skills” programs can be overly clinical or sterile, uninspiring, and oddly self-centered.

Our 14-week programs are designed with 4-day weekly lessons to be taught in as little as 30-40 minutes per day. This allows for each set to be taught in a single semester or as a summer course.

Each set is a stand-alone course that can be taught alongside any curriculum in the home or classroom.

This book contains two booklists that are integral to the course.
