For the 'Emotional and Social Improvement Project' for children with borderline intelligence
It was written by six cognitive behavioral counseling experts.

Includes case studies that can be used immediately in clinical settings, schools, and homes.
Providing cognitive behavioral therapy/cognitive behavioral play therapy programs tailored to each personality type

Domestic research and data on improving the emotional and social skills of slow learners are still lacking.
Accordingly, professors and doctors specializing in psychotherapy in clinical education settings gathered together to write this book.
We identify the cognitive and emotional characteristics of children with borderline intelligence and introduce a cognitive behavioral therapy program with proven clinical effectiveness by categorizing them into depression, anxiety, anger, and distractibility.
The writing team has been developing emotional and social skills programs that take into account the characteristics of children with borderline intelligence, and has also been working hard to provide training to professionals who work with children.
Now, through this book, I want to show children who learn more by learning slowly that they can also learn about their 'heart'.
This is a must-read for adults interested in children's healthy emotional and social development.

Emotional instability experienced by children can impact positive self-concept and self-esteem, two of the most important areas of a child's overall development.
Chronic emotional instability can lead to poor academic performance and low self-esteem, which can lead to a lack of self-efficacy in interpersonal relationships.
Low self-esteem like this can negatively impact children with borderline intelligence in their home, school, learning environment, and experiences with peers.

Teaching children with borderline intelligence to cope rather than control is more effective, as they learn specific, practical behaviors, which allows them to be more adaptable in everyday life.
However, children with borderline intelligence have poor generalization skills, making it difficult to flexibly apply learned skills to various social situations.
Therefore, after explaining social skills in detail, it is necessary to practice through rehearsal how to apply them in which situations.

The Cognitive Behavior Therapy/Cognitive Behavior Play Therapy program provides children with borderline intelligence with a new perspective on themselves through a multifaceted approach to thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and helps them think flexibly and diversely rather than with a single, extreme way of thinking.
By recognizing your own emotions, recalling happy experiences, and connecting them to activities, you can help your child change his or her emotions and behavior.
Additionally, eating and sleeping problems experienced in daily life can be internalized through a practical success plan, thereby increasing self-confidence and self-efficacy.

Anger and rage are not bad emotions.
These are emotions that we feel naturally, such as joy, sadness, fear, and shame.
How we behave when we are angry or upset is what determines whether our behavior is healthy or unhealthy.
What we need to keep in mind is that 'there is a clear reason for being angry' and 'I can control my behavior even when I am angry.'
This activity personifies the emotion of anger, helping children see anger separately.
When you separate yourself from your anger, you can determine in what situations you explode with anger, how you can control your anger, and what the consequences of your anger outbursts are.

Social perception is the ability to perceive social cues, including social rules, norms, and roles, and to understand and infer social situations and contexts.
The ability to understand and reason about social situations is very important for adapting to peer relationships and group life.
To improve social perception, one must be able to not only perceive and discern various cues provided in social situations (e.g., social roles or social rules), but also understand the social context itself.
Impaired social perception is related to the ability to solve problems in social situations.

Children with borderline intelligence lack the ability to judge situations and cope, so they are unable to resist unfair treatment.
Rather, this behavior is sometimes praised as it is perceived as a child being gentle and accommodating.
Moreover, they tend to depend on those who treat them well and have a strong desire to be noticed, so they have difficulty accurately conveying their thoughts or positions even when they don't want to.
On the one hand, he is perceived as a very difficult child because he cannot delay his desires appropriately in the situation and cannot control his anger.
The immaturity and inadequacy of these social relationships hinders the formation of equal and healthy peer relationships.
Here's why children with borderline intelligence need to learn rejection skills.

If what parents and teachers want is for their children to have a 'fun time learning something' and a 'healthy relationship where they share fun times through learning', it is important to give positive feedback and praise for their learning attitude rather than their learning ability.
To do this, even if they get 7 out of 10 questions wrong, give your child a smile and praise their learning attitude by saying things like, “You probably really don’t want to do this today, but you persevered and got through number 3,” or “You even prepared your writing utensils and books on your own today. That’s amazing.”
Let's look at the healthy learning attitudes I've observed in my child, as shown in the table below, write down how I can praise and encourage them, and then try to apply them in my daily life.

If you are a child who is 'inconsiderate' or 'offends his/her friends', you need active help from those around you.
Because not every child does something to hurt someone else's feelings every minute of every second, 24 hours a day.
At times, he is a child who is close to others, and at other times, he is a child who brings joy and inspiration to others.
Also, the desire to be close with friends is no different from other people's desire.
However, being insensitive and hurting your friends' feelings means that you lack the ability to sensitively perceive your friends' subtle emotional differences or changes in the surrounding situation, and you lack prosocial skills such as empathizing and encouraging them.
We must remember that weak and insufficient abilities do not mean 'limitations', but rather that they can be sufficiently 'grown' through 'help and practice'.
