Review the moves for making friends
Making new friends isn't always easy, and many children need some help with this. Remind your child that when looking for friends, it often helps to make the first move. Encourage your elementary schooler to say "hi" and show an interest in other people. Your child might ask someone to play a game or eat together. Suggest sharing stories about personal experiences so the person can get to know your child better. Friendship skills matter because having friends at school can boost your child's enthusiasm for education.
