Is your child ready for a great fall? It starts this summer. 06/16/2026

You have noticed something. The way your child goes quiet in a group. The birthday party they did not want to go to. The friend they stopped calling.

You are not imagining it. And you are not alone.

Social skills are built through real moments with real people. I started Simply Social Kids 20 years ago because these skills can be taught, practiced, and when they are, kids change in ways that ripple through everything.

Simply Social Kids summer program starts July 6. A few spots remain.

If your kid has been through Simply Social Kids, they already know how you show up matters.

Those same skills that help them make friends? They're the exact skills that get you hired.

I've been hiring people for a long time. I see the same mistakes cost candidates the job again and again, and no one ever told them.

So, I wrote it all down. It's in this week's newsletter, and it's worth a read before your teen's first job interview.

You've tried playdates. Sports. The school group. And your child is still struggling.

Most programs explain social skills. But friendship doesn't happen on a tip sheet. It happens in the moment, when things get awkward and your child doesn't know what to do next.

That's exactly what I coach for. What's something you've tried that just didn't work? Share below. Other parents need to hear they're not alone. Now enrolling for our summer social groups online and in person for ages 8 - adult.

Every summer, I think about the opportunities kids have when school lets out.

Summer gives children something they often don't get enough of during the school year: time to connect with other people.

Researchers have found that today's kids spend less time socializing face-to-face than previous generations. Fewer chances to practice conversation, build confidence, and figure out friendship.
That's why real-world social experiences matter. And it's exactly what we focus on at Simply Social Kids.

Our summer program begins July 6, and space is limited.
