Types of friends is the focus in Peer Support this week with children exploring what encourages them to form friendships with different people (common interests, admirable qualities etc). Children identified that their friends can fall into the categories of ‘best friends’, ‘friends’ and ‘people we know’. Children also discussed the fact that friendships can change over time for various reasons.

Discuss with your child the different friends they have in their lives and how friendships may change. Some friends may be more important at different times in their lives.

Thank you for your support of our Peer Support program.
