Bossy friends. Being left out. Getting embarrassed. Joining a group. Knowing how to apologize—or how to be angry without exploding. What Can I Say? gives kids ages 6–12 the actual words they can use when real-life situations get awkward, emotional, or difficult. Inside, they’ll find 120+ full-color pages of practical examples, age-appropriate responses, questions, facts, and “Try It Out” activities covering everyday interactions, conversation skills, getting along, hard feelings, friendships, and family life. Because kids get taught how to do math and write essays—but sometimes they need a little help learning what to say.
