Interpersonal social skills are the life skills that we use in our daily life such as communicate and interact with other people, both individually and in groups. Interpersonal social skills are including communication skills which can be classify into verbal communication, non-verbal communication and listening skills, team working, negotiation, persuasion and influencing skills, conflict resolution and mediation, and problem solving and decision-making (SkillsYouNeed, 2011-2017). Social skills are defined as socially acceptable, learned behaviors that enable a person to interact effectively with others and to avoid socially unacceptable response (Takahashi et al., 2015).
According to Shepherd et al., (2010), it can be defined broadly as “those skills which one needs in order to communicate effectively with another person or a group of people”.

A first child enters an environment with two adult parents, so the average intellectual level is high. A second born enters a lower intellectual environment than the first-born, because his older sibling is part of the intellectual environment, and decrease the average intellectual level. A third child enters an even lower intellectual environment than the second born because of two older siblings, etc. Since the intellectual environment declines with birth order, this model predicts a negative relation between birth order this model predicts a negative relation between birth order and educational attainment (de Haan,
Chapter eleven presented several skills that can be used to start, build, and maintain interpersonal relationships with people from our daily, professional, and personal lives. I thought that all of the listed skills could be very useful and helpful in an interpersonal relationships but felt that there were a few that aren't really necessary when communicating. In my opinion, social decentering, providing support, and listening actively in order to respond effectively strike me as the most important relationship strategies. I believe that the most valuable skill to have is social decentering because it gives you a better understanding of how others will feel and think. This skill is needed to appropriately adjust you're behavior so that you can effectively communicate with others based on you're knowledge of that specific person. This will allow you to predict that person's behavior and reaction to certain situations.

Interpersonal Communication Skills (BICS) observed in the math class. One of the first examples where I noticed BICS taking place was at the beginning of class time. As the students set up their desks and chalk boards, they were all loudly conversy about whatever they deemed fit. This is considered a BICS because the students were interpersonally conversing within the classroom about subjects related and unrelated to the math class with one another. For example, This BICS example was cognitively undemanding due to the open-ended conversations, and no pressure from the teacher. This was also context embedded because the students had each other to discuss their first mathematical problem, and whatever they pleased. This was just one of the many BICS observed.

Those who have strong interpersonal skills are usually the ones who are the more successful in their professional life and also their social life as they will be easy to understand and will draw people to them through their body language or by their way of speech.

At three months of age, infants will spend their time watching what is going on around them. They will show their first real smile, perhaps accompanying it with some gurgling in an attempt to start interacting with others, especially parents/guardians.

Describes a confluence model that explains the effects of birth order and family size on intelligence. Intellectual development within the family context is conceived of as depending on the cumulative effects of the intellectual environment, which consists primarily of the siblings' and parents' intelligence. Mutual influences, through time, on the intellectual development of the siblings are described by the growth parameter a. The confluence model predicts positive as well as negative effects of birth order, a necessarily negative effect of family size, and a handicap for the last born and the only child. The model explains several features of a large birth order study carried out on nearly 400,000 19 yr
Social Perceptiveness - Being aware of other peoples reactions and understanding why they react a certain way.
Persuasion is the interpersonal skill I would like to discuss. The reason for this is that just about every other interpersonal skill falls under the persuasion umbrella. The definition of persuasion varies depending on where you look but ultimately it means to convince someone to alter their beliefs or actions in a way of your choosing. Persuasion is a key component of negotiations, sales, conflict resolution, and many other areas.

Debates on the relationship between birth order and intelligence have been remaining controversial. Birth order is considered as a person's ranking by age among his or her siblings. There have been numerous researchers studying about this subject to find whether firstborns generally have a higher IQ scores than their siblings. Some scientists conclude that birth order strongly influents intelligence; however, others oppose to this, claiming that birth order has no effect on intelligence. In this paper, my study deals with the birth order effects on intelligence.
I try very hard to teach my children that social skills are very important in the world. You have to be able to communicate and speak your mind. Those who hide in the background and don’t say anything are the people that don’t get very far in real life situations. My oldest daughter has this down to a science in the fact that she deals with customers on a daily basis and has to be able to be people friendly at her job. My second daughter is all bundled up and shy and won’t speak out for the things that she thinks is right. This causes me and her to have conflict on a daily basis, especially through the things she deals with at school from the other students and teachers. My youngest daughter let me tell you about her she is not shy to tell
