However, for a variety of reasons, some children find it harder to think socially, develop socially and use their social tools suitably when it really counts.


`What's the Buzz?' is the original social skills programme and became an instant best-seller, used by practitioners around the globe with children and young people, helping them to successfully transfer these skills into their everyday lives.
