Friendships can be complicated. It’s common for kids to feel:
Shy at an event where they don’t know anyone.
Furious during an argument with a friend.
Jealous when a friend spends time with someone else.
Because kids care deeply about their friends, these painful moments can be overwhelming.
You can’t protect your child from the challenges of friendships, but you can give them the tools they need to understand and handle their emotions in ways that build healthy friendships.
