I use the 52 Essential Social Skills (k-3rd Grade) for couseling at school. It is a great converstation starter and helps the students get unstuck.
C
I purchased four of the essential skills card activities and use them regularly with my students. There is also an online tutorial and course you can take to expand your knowledge and skill set in order to teach the skills to your students/clients. Overall, my students enjoy the various card activities.

Good questions
A
I LOVE these for my 5 year old. She loves to role play the scenarios on these cards, and it helps provide some real life tips for if/when she does run into a similar situation. I will be buying more!
C
Great product. Bought this for my child to learn to develop social skill and understanding.
B
Almost all of the cards pertain to kids who are in public school. I try my best to alter the questions to fit my kids so they can relate to it
S
I am so excited to use these with my students. We work on social skills all the time and these cards have great scenarios and probing questions to ask and discuss. I might even pull out some to use with my own children.

I have a self-contained middle school classroom. I focus a lot of attention on helping my students manage their emotions and be able to have relationships with peers. We practice having conversations, identifying emotions, etc.These cards have been extremely helpful. The content is so appropriate, and each card leads to deep conversations about how we should treat people and gives them some empathy and awareness of others.
Q
I love the conversations this deck has sparked in our home. It has facilitated conversations that I would have never thought to have with my 7 year old son. I really enjoy seeing how my son would cope with situations that he may face. I feel more confident in his success at school because of this deck now that he had time to think is scenarios and contemplate how he would manage them. The bonus online library is an amazing addition that really gives helpful suggestions.
N
New-ish parents I’d recommend to, school aged children why not?!
C
The topics and scenarios are great but there's no answer/suggestions on the back. Suggestions would be helpful.
M
Good conversation starters that you dont really think about teaching. Lots of every day scenarios to think and practice about how to respond to situations.

I’m a busy working mom and using these cards have helped me connect with my kiddos. This deck includes lots of useful modern-day school situations that my kids face. I want my kids to be able to make good choices and handle peer pressure. I really appreciate that the cards come with an online library that provides answers for literally each of the cards, plus grade-level assessments.
B
Still exploring the cards so far so good. It would have been better if it would have given teaching points too
