Social stories are a powerful tool to explain social situations and difficult topics in a calm, reassuring way. They are especially helpful for children who may struggle with understanding social cues, processing emotions, or managing anxiety around upcoming events. These stories make it easier for children to grasp complex concepts while offering emotional support.

For best results, revisit these stories regularly to reinforce understanding. To ensure durability and easy access, consider placing the pages in a display book or laminating and binding them.
