Session 11: Putting It All Together

This session consolidates children's coping skills through additional practice of the five social problem-solving steps, and through a review of key points from the previous ten sessions. The session begins with a review of the key points of negotiation and the five steps for solving social problems, and moves on to an activity in which children work through a real-life social problem, with particular emphasis on thinking about the consequences of various solutions.

Next, in an engaging activity that reinforces children's sense of mastery (a primary source of self-esteem) and provides a comprehensive review, participants act out a television show called "Ask the Experts." The session concludes with a relaxation exercise.
