Description:

Children’s Friendship Training is an in-person, evidence-based social skills intervention for motivated children who are interested in learning ways to help them make and keep friends. During each small-group session, children learn a new skill and practice it with other group members. Meanwhile, parents learn how to support their children’s social development, coaching them as they practice their skills in the real world. Your child will earn how to make a good first impression, conversing with other children, finding common interests with other children, playing fairly and being gracious when winning or losing, resolving conflicts, joining other children at play, being a good host on a playdate, and showing respect to other children and adults.
