My favorite series for teaching kids about social problem solving

If you haven’t heard of, or read, the “What Should Danny Do?” series by Ganit and Adir Levy, you need to check them out!

Written in a “Build Your Own Adventure” kind of way, each book contains 8-9 separate stories. As children read the book, they are given choices about how Danny (or now, Darla!) should react or proceed. Based on the choices they make, the story leads them down a different path.

The scenarios in the book are all ones that are familiar to kids – fighting over toys with a sibling, breaking something that belongs to someone else, standing up for others. With each choice they make, kids will begin to see how Danny’s actions determine the consequences.

This series really is a must-have for any school or home library! There are so many different social-emotional learning skills that are reinforced throughout the books, and the format of the books really encourages conversation between grown-ups and kids!
