How many times have you been caught off guard when asked for an unexpected topic? All of a sudden someone is looking for a lesson on something you have nothing about on your library shelf.
Special Situations was compiled for just these times. Although it certainly can not cover every situation, it does give lessons on twenty-seven subjects such as:
being the shortest student in class, inferiority feelings, open adoption, adoption, arrival of a new baby, rejection because of being different, perfection, wearing glasses, bullying, cursing
safety awareness, dealing with a parent's substance abuse
and more ...
Each topic includes an original story, questions for discussion, and extension activities. The book is a compilation of stories written by different authors throughout the country. These stories were written because of their needs and now you can have the benefit of their work in one book.
