How To Help Your Child Make Friends At Their New School

How can I help my child make friends at their new school?

First of all, emphasize all the good qualities; the positive qualities that you like about your child. Anything you do that increases their sense of self, their positive self esteem, is going to equip them well to go and interact with other people that they don't know yet. Remind them that they don't have to be everybody's friend, but that it's a good thing to be friendly with everybody. And remind them that they can take time to choose the people they want to be closest to.
