Back to School - Helping your child make friends

Making friends is tough at any age, but for kids and teens, who are still mastering social skills, it can be an emotional rollercoaster.  It can be so hard to watch your kids bump through the ups and downs of friendships, and even harder to know what to do to help them through the dramas of it all! Maggie Dent and Bec Sparrow come together in this episode, with parent educator Claire Orange, to give you advice on what you can do as a parent to help your kids navigate the often-tricky world of friendships.  The advice provided in this podcast is general in nature and does not take into account your personal situation. If you require further advice specific to your needs, please consult a professional.  If you have teenagers who are struggling with making the right kind of friends, check out our episode My teen's friends are bad news
