Social Savvy Series - Developing Social Reciprocity

Social scenarios for reflection, practice, and development

Age Group : 14+

Social reciprocity is presented as a fundamental pillar of social skills: listening and being listened to, supporting and being supported, sharing emotions, and respecting each other’s boundaries. The book invites readers to step back from their own interactions and identify situations in which exchanges are balanced or, conversely, unbalanced. The proposed examples illustrate a variety of everyday contexts (family, friendship, work, romantic relationships), allowing for easy identification and direct transfer to real-life situations.

The book is based on 20 social scenarios accompanied by open-ended questions designed to stimulate reflection, understanding of mental states (emotions, thoughts, intentions), and the search for appropriate responses. The deliberate absence of an answer key encourages decision-making autonomy and dialogue with the professional or support person. This work makes it possible to gradually build a toolbox of social strategies that can be reused in daily life, while respecting the pace, perspective, and choices of the person being supported.
