Synopsis

We Thinkers Volume 2 Social Problem Solvers provides the structure, curriculum, storybooks, and support materials to teach executive functioning and social problem solving while building on the core social concepts and Social Thinking Vocabulary introduced in We Thinkers Volume 1 Social Explorers. The five Social Thinking concepts featured in Volume 2, figuring out hidden rules and expected and unexpected behavior, making a smart guess, having flexible versus stuck thinking, matching the size of a reaction to the size of a problem, and sharing imagination. Continue the trajectory toward social learning achievements to last a lifetime. In Volume 2 we help students decipher the social cues to share space, flexibly interact, and regulate emotions during the ever changing world of play or when sitting quietly in a classroom. Social executive functioning is difficult for early learners, especially those with social emotional learning challenges. It involves surveying a social situation, understanding group behavior, considering others' perspectives, motives and ideas, thinking flexibility, negotiating roles or turns, and self-regulating to keep emotions and behaviors under control when problems arise. Volume 2 decodes these concepts into small, teachable segments that kids can understand, and presents them in an organized platform from which adults can reliably teach in a step by step manner. This is an excellent curriculum for all students ages 4 to 7 in a mainstream setting as well as for students with social learning challenges.
