I also would love to have some hygiene videos. It can difficult for students to understand how passing gas, picking their nose, bathing regularly, etc. in public can negatively impact how their peers view them. For a lot of social skills I have been able to use role playing but I have to admit that a lesson on where and when it is okay to pass gas could be challenging.
Thanks for making such wonderful videos! Here are some ideas:
1) Friend circles (different levels of friends [evolving friends, bonded friends etc.])
2) What social thinking is (e.x. "what you do creates thoughts in other people's minds")
3) What situations you use social skills/thinking in (not just for making friends but working in groups, jobs, talking with adults etc.)
4) Joining groups (you already have two wonderful joining group videos but they highlight joining groups when they are not busy - I would like to address joining groups of people who have similar interests for example)
Thanks!
I love these videos and can't wait for more to come out. One suggestion about the organization of them: It would be so helpful if there was a table of contents and if the videos were numbered in some way. Each time I want to search for a topic, I need to click into each topic area and look around. I really like the way Model Me Kids has their DVD boxes organized by topic area and listed videos that are on each.
Thanks for listening! ~Melissa
I could use a video related to getting things wrong/making mistakes. I have a student who goes into melt down whenever he makes an error on a paper or thinks he has failed at an activity. It is okay for others to make mistakes, especially on school work, but not for him.
Excellent! We'll add this to the idea pool for next round of filming :)
I have some high school students who definitely have self-esteem issues. One speaks in a very soft voice because he's so afraid someone is going to hear him saying something wrong and another student who speaks in a silly voice when something becomes challenging. Other videos that would be helpful are:
1. Being a class clown and saying inappropriate things to gain attention
2. Transitioning to new topics
3. Not perseverating on same topic. I did see the birthday clip which was good but definitely big problem and would love to see more.
All your videos are great! Thanks for taking the time to make them all!
I have a student who has difficulty not vocalizing during class time while he is working at his desk during class time. He hums, he talks to himself, and he plays random ideas in his head while working. He often is annoying to the students around him. He does not understand why he needs to reduce the number of verbalizations for the good of his classmates. This student also moves around in his chair a lot and he often gets in other people's space.
Great! Thank you!
A video about competing or racing others to do things first. E.g. Be first to the carpet, put shoes on, wash hands, etc.
I would love to see more videos about the difficult skill of joining a group (e.g., at recess when others have already formed a group), and a younger collection video about detecting sarcasm and/or responding to teasing/bullying.
Thanks!
I reiterate Cathy's ideas - it would be great to have more material on how to transition topics and how to deal with perseveratiion on a topic! Thank you! The videos are great and the fact that you ask for ideas/input is wonderful.
Oh and I just saw Sarah's ideas - ditto yet again. These are all consistent issues at the elementary level :)
Silly singing, vocalizing, playing with glasses, instigating others when student is supposed to be listening during class.
