This social story is for children who have been hitting others. It uses an understanding tone to explain that everyone gets angry and frustrated sometimes and that those feelings are ok but that it is never ok to hit or hurt others as a result of those feelings. It also gives ideas for calming down strategies.
The point of a social story is to use a patient and reassuring tone to teach children about social situations in a way that can be easily understood. Social stories can be useful for any child who is struggling to understand a situation or concept or needs help to understand a social skill or social cue, expectations, perspectives, common responses or is troubled about an upcoming event but social stories are particularly useful for children on the autistic spectrum for whom social cues can be challenging and who often suffer anxiety if they do not know what to expect from a situation.
These books should be used over and over to reinforce the point so I would suggest either putting the pages into a display book or laminating and binding them.
