Social Skills Workshop
 (School Age Children)

The character we build today will guide our success tomorrow.  Gold Star Manners has created programs that teach school age children the keys to success – the keys to strong character development.

Our programs are fun and entertaining.  We have designed our classes to teach children the skills they need to build self-esteem and self-confidence. Our classes foster a sense of accomplishment and personal satisfaction.  Individuals that attend Gold Star Manners learn to develop strategies to make good decisions that have a positive outcome for themselves, their families and their community.

Our programs are tailored to the specific needs of the group and setting where the class is held.  We incorporate a hands-on approach to teaching; students will participate in educational and fun games, they will practice their skills in role playing activities and will have an opportunity to voice their opinions in guided discussion sessions.

Making friends (greetings, including others, conversation topics)
