Created by Lawrence E. Shapiro, Ph.D. This card game is designed to simulate a standard 52-card deck - with a twist! Instead of numbered cards there are 13 different children and instead of the four traditional suits there are four social skills areas - Having Fun, Inviting a Friend, Talking, and Solving a Problem. As children play the game, they make up stories that demonstrate social awareness using the 13 different character cards. The instructions suggest four ways to play, but these entertaining cards can be used in dozens of other creative ways.

Early intervention is the key to helping shy children reach the social and academic milestones that can shape their sense of self-worth.
