This webinar is designed to help parents/caregivers of primary aged/early middle school young people know how to support them to develop positive friendships and manage the normal peer difficulties which arise in this age and stage of development.

In this webinar parents/caregivers learn information and practical strategies including:

Why friendships and positive relationships matter for children and young people.

The type and frequency of normal peer difficulties which occur for both boys and girls.

How to coach children/young people to confidently, kindly and assertively manage friendship difficulties.

When and how to intervene in more serious or ongoing conflict/exclusion situations with friends.

How to work together with other adults/organisations (including schools) to support children to manage peer difficulties.

Examples are provided throughout especially in relation to social issues related to parents concerns about children experiencing social exclusion (online or in real life), children having difficulty initiating conversations and friendships and children finding social skills difficult. Examples focus on calm normalisation of social difficulties with practical ideas about how parents can support social development and respond calmly (but with empathy) and constructively.
