It really is much more than that. Social skills, are in my mind, the ability to share space with one another, communicate, share, express, create, and yes work together. We have communication skills that allow us to use our words to express ideas and thoughts. We use our eyes to interpret the person we are talking to (facial expressions, body language, tone of voice), and to interpret the context of the situation. In short Social Skills are a great big package of integrated input and feedback from the people and places we are at.
Bottom Line?
Social Skills and social interactions are a part of everyday life! AND they are a very important part of school life, work life, and the communities in which we live. This video very aptly portrays the importance of social skills and a social life.
