Help Children Make New Friends
W
hile many school lessons pertain to coursework, kids pick up much more than book smarts from school.
In addition to a new curriculum, new teachers and new schedules, kids also make new friends once a school year begins. While some familiar faces carry through from grade to grade, chances are youngsters will meet new students who will soon become good friends. Some kids might need some assistance in making friends, some that might last a lifetime. Children should be given the opportunity to explore friendships outside of the classroom. Establish a carpool or invite a classmate over for a play date. Unstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great way to establish friendships. Invite new children over each time to see which friendships are the strongest, but make sure you are not pushing a friendship on your child. One of the quickest ways to build friendships is through common interests. Encourage your child to join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kids with similar interests. Sometimes finding reasons to talk other children is the most difficult step to making new friends. Sharing a common interest removes this barrier. (continues on page 14)
