One of the key thrusts of the PeopleSmart social skills program is the distinction it emphasizes between friends, acquaintances, and strangers. We want our students to have friends to enrich their lives, make them feel connected, and help them in times of need. The complete LifeSmart curriculum includes the PeopleSmart videos, as well as DateSmart, MoneySmart, SafetySmart, and JobSmart. The Becoming PeopleSmart videos are available as stand-alone teaching tools or as part of the entire LifeSmart library. PeopleSmart 1 contains three chapters: “How to Meet People,” “How to Turn an Acquaintance Into a Friend,” and “How to Deepen a Friendship.” PeopleSmart 2 focuses on trust and gullibility, and features the chapters, “How Not to Mistake Friendliness for Friendship,” “How to Avoid Getting into Trouble with Strangers,” and “How to Be Attractive to the Opposite Gender.” PeopleSmart 1 and 2 features the Stanfield Comedy Players, comedic experts at delivering life lessons through laughter. To meet this need, Stanfield has devoted a special section of its best-selling LifeSmart library exclusively to friendship skills. Even individuals who are only mildly developmentally or cognitively challenged may need to be explicitly taught the basics of meeting people, making friends, and deepening personal relationships. Teach students the essential social skills directly related to friendship and trust.Īt Stanfield, we know basic social skills are not always learned through osmosis.
