Does it only work if children have difficult behaviours?
The skills of pro-social behaviour advantage all children. Indeed, they advantage adults as well. Maintaining these skills is best achieved by trying to improve them. Socially and emotionally competent children, with the skills to cooperate and effectively work with others, will enjoy the challenges the program presents. The wide variety of games and activities invariably reveal areas of weakness and concern in even the “best” of students. The old adage, “practice makes perfect” holds true and if children are not actively practicing the skills of pro-social behaviour, it can be safely assumed those skills will deteriorate over time.
