You are a great parent!
And there is no guidebook to help you connect deeply with your child so that you can have a true influence on their development of critical social-emotional skills such as understanding and figuring out their internal sensations, emotions, and thoughts or how to feel comfortable and navigate daily social situations. Traditional parenting books don’t address the root causes or provide suggestions that help with your child’s needs—or yours.
The good news is that there is a lot you can do without adding on more to your busy life!
Make Social and Emotional Learning Stick: Practical activities to help your child manage emotions, navigate social situations & reduce anxiety, the book, provides simple and fun activities to add right into your daily life. There is no fuss or stress when you get the tools you need to use during everyday activities to help your child grow and be happy.
All you need is yourself, your child, and your daily routines and interactions.

About The Author
Hello! I’m Elizabeth Sautter, a Speech and Language Pathologist with a passion for social and emotional learning. Since 1996, I’ve been helping people of all ages, from preschoolers to adults and their families, navigate the world of social interactions and develop healthy emotional skills.
I founded Make Social Learning Stick to empower children, teens, and their families with the tools they need to thrive. Through consultations, training, and resources, we equip individuals with practical strategies for building social skills, emotional intelligence, and executive functioning.
I also co-own Communication Works (cwtherapy.com), which provides speech therapy services to schools in California. My journey in this field wasn’t purely academic. I had the privilege of mentoring and interning under the guidance of Michelle Garcia Winner, Stephanie Madrigal, and Pamela Crooke.
Beyond my professional pursuits, my work holds a deeper meaning. Two of my teenage sons, my sister, and a cousin all face challenges related to social communication, self-regulation, and executive functioning. Their experiences fuel my dedication, making this more than just a career – it’s a lifelong mission.
I’m also a Zones of Regulation collaborative trainer, committed to spreading awareness about emotional regulation tools.
