Description: Texting isn’t just for friends—it can also be a powerful tool for communicating at home. In this Boom deck, preteens practice sending text messages to family members in real-life situations that may feel challenging, emotional, or just plain awkward. This Home Edition focuses on self-advocacy, respectful boundary-setting, and emotional expression within family relationships—while affirming the student’s individual communication style and needs. Students will read messages from caregivers, parents, or siblings, then choose or type their own texted response. All scenarios encourage honesty, kindness, and reflection—without pushing masking or neurotypical social norms. ✨ This deck supports learners by: Building confidence in texting with family Supporting emotional awareness and regulation Empowering students to speak up for their needs in ways that feel safe and true Respecting diverse communication styles, including nontraditional responses Great for social skills groups, therapy sessions, SEL support, and neurodiversity-affirming teaching in inclusive settings.
