“Giving kids confidence one social skill at a time” – Tracey Pugh
When I was a child, people regularly told my mother that my sister and I had such nice manners. My mother’s response was “thank you”, but really we just had nice company manners. In other words, we had one set of behaviors for the public and a less pleasant set for home. We had a skill – knowing how to adjust our behaviors to match the environment.
I created sociallywize in 2018 to provide a platform to acquire and inspire developing these social skills. As a parent and educator, the purpose of my Series of books is to provide as many opportunities to work on social skills as possible. Many of us may have children who will happily entertain themselves for hours by retreating into the world of electronics. This is antisocial in nature and rarely provides any growth opportunity. I have written several books
Because some children and parents need more specific lessons we offer personal social skills coaching in the comfort of their homes. Sociallywize empowers student’s ability to create all the meaningful relationships that they may desire. Valuable relationships are so important to self-esteem and sense of belonging.
Has it been a smooth road?
Sociallywize is a platform that I wished for when I was a socially challenged teenager. My personal journey included so many struggles speak up for myself, how to show up in social settings and over time I created tips for myself that I have now taught 1,000 of children as a teacher at The Greenhill School in Dallas.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with sociallywize – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
Giving kids confidence one social skill at a time” We are proud of the social skills movement that we are creating our goal is to give kids more resources to build confidence and long-lasting relationships.
SociallyWize.com is where the wise come to acquire and inspire social skills. SociallyWize was recently created after years of working offline with educators, speech-language pathologists, and parents to support and build social/emotional skills in students, teens, and young adults. We deliver those resources through books (digital and printed), 1 on 1 coaching, speaking engagements, and social reinforcement gifts.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
I love the growth of the city over the last two years, it feels like a completely different city than I grew up in! The entrepreneur boom also makes the city dynamic to be a part of as a small business owner. It is a very supportive city for small businesses right now. The 1 thing I like the least about the city is that we need more independent bookstores.
