6. How can you help your child make friends?

January 03, 2024

Your child making friends is always a worry! Maybe your child has a great group of friends at nursery or reception, or at the childminder they are leaving behind, maybe they struggle to share, maybe they love to socialise until they fall asleep but maybe they’re shy! 

 

In this episode we get into all the practical things you can do to help your child settle in and make friends at school, or a new pre-school setting; what you can do to help your child connect and why it’s so important for their development.


With special guests, Shannen, who has two children aged 3 and 8, and Poppy O'Neill, a best-selling author who specialises in children's mental health. You can find Poppy’s book 'Help Your Child Make Friends' in bookshops, and explore her other work at https://poppyoneill.com/
