Making and Keeping Friends

Sunday August 26, 2007
Making friends is an important social skill for kids. Having a best friend, playing with other kids on the playground, and going to birthday parties and sleepovers are some of the things that are routine for most kids.

Unfortunately, some children struggle with all of these things and have trouble making and keeping friends.

The start of a new school year is a great time to make sure that your child isn't having problems making and keeping friends.
