My daughter started middle school terrified of saying the wrong thing. This book changed everything. We'd read it together at night and she'd say 'Mom, this is exactly what happened to me today.' It gave her the words she didn't know she was missing. I wish I had this growing up

The Problem Many Kids and Parents Face
Knowing what to say in tough social situations doesn't come naturally to most kids, especially when they want to connect but do not know how to start or what words to use. Many kids lose confidence, avoid social situations, or say the wrong thing — not because they don't care, but because nobody ever taught them how.
Learning social skills should not feel embarrassing or overwhelming. What kids often need is a fun, practical way to practise, learn from real-life scenarios, and build confidence one conversation at a time.
That is why this book is so helpful. What Can I Say? turns awkward social moments into manageable, learnable skills, helping your child navigate friendships, school, and life with more confidence, empathy, and the right words.

Customer Reviews
Finally, a book my son actually reads
I've bought so many books trying to help my son. Most sat on the shelf. This one he picked up himself and came to me the next day saying 'Mum, I tried it and it worked.' Said it all really
My sister called me two weeks later raving about it
Got this for my nephew along with a few other things for his birthday. Honestly didn't think much of it at the time. Two weeks later his mum called me saying he'd read the whole thing and was already acting differently with his friends. Out of everything I got him, this was the one she called me about. Didn't see that coming!
I keep a copy in my classroom
I see kids struggle with this every day — not because they're unkind, just because they don't know what to say. I started recommending this to parents and the difference is remarkable.
She carried it everywhere that summer
"Got it for my granddaughter before high school. She took it on holiday and read it by the pool every morning. By the end of the trip she was chatting to kids she'd never met. Honestly didn't expect it to make such a difference.
Bought it for my daughter, ended up reading it myself
The scripts, the scenarios, all of it is so practical. My daughter is 11 and already using what she learned. I just wish someone had given me this at her age — would've saved me a lot of awkward moments growing up
Right book at the right time
My niece was having a rough patch — falling out with friends, not wanting to go to school. I sent her this with a little note. Her mum said she read it in two days and cried at one part because 'this is exactly what happened to me.' Sometimes that's all a kid needs.
