Cap It Off With a Smile A Guide for Making Friends

Said syndicated children's book columnist Kendal A. Rautzhan, "This is one of the best books I've ever run across for helping children learn how to make & keep friends. Written by a psychologist, the clever story, in verse, entertains while conveying a strong but non-threatening message about the four solid components (signified by the letters "CAPS") of making friends. The letter "C" stands for Compliment, & how finding something nice about another person makes that individual feel good. The letter "A" stands for Ask - when you don't know what to say to another person or how to start a conversation, ask a question. The letter "P" stands for Positive - a positive attitude is important & makes others want to be around you. The letter "S" stands for Smile - like a positive attitude, a smile makes others feel warm & welcome. The valuable guide is geared for children from K through 4th grade & can be used at home or in the classroom. An activity book & audiocassette tape with four lively songs about the CAPS philosophy are also available. And while the book, tape, & activity book focus on the 5 to 9 age group, older children & adults will benefit every bit as much from the advice this material has to offer. Have older kids read the book to younger ones or use it as a family activity." Published by Hilson Press, Call: 1-800-926-2258 or 1-718-805-0063, P.O.
