Making and keeping friends is an important skill for us to learn. Not only is it fun to have friends around us ,but it is an important part of our experience at nursery and when we start Primary 1. When we form friendships it helps us to develop self-esteem and build important social skills, like getting along, cooperating and problem-solving. What makes you a good friend ? Here are some things that might help us.
- Listen to others.
- Cooperate.
- Forgive one another
- Be honest.
- Show respect.
- Express gratitude and appreciation.
- Take turns and share
While we are still unable to see all our friends we can try this at home.
- Draw around your hand
- Have a think of 5 strengths you have that makes you a good friend.
- Ask an adult to scribe in each finger what you think makes you a really good friend.
Love to all my little friends and your families .
