6 Tips to Help Your Child Make New Friends

• 1. Build social skillsSocial skills don't come
  naturally, it needs to be taught. Many times,
  children stimulate a strong desire for friendship
  towards certain peers. Starting a conversation,
  being friendly with classmates, understanding the
  value of sharing and giving will create a good
  crux for initiating a friendship.2. Teach
  politenessTeach words like please and thank
  you. Being polite will attract other children to
  engage with your kid and learn something new
  every day.3. Indulge in sports/activitiesGames
  , sports and interactive activities are a natural
  conversation starter and help in breaking the
  ice. Having a common goal in sports can help

• 4. Children learn, what they seeInviting your
  own friends over, having dinner and a
  conversation will naturally catch the childs
  attention. Since children see and learn from
  grown-ups, they will understand the know-hows of
  talking and maintaining a friendship.5. Avoid
  overreactingChildrens social rejection might
  be agitating to you at first, but it's essential
  not to overact. Childrens emotions and feelings
  change rapidly, and small incidents matter to
  them. So when your child comes backs home and
  says I hate my 'x' friend, and next week says
  that 'x' is my best friend, its pretty normal.
  Children are constantly learning.

• 6. Take a standGenerally, children are shy,
  and it might be difficult to make friends
  immediately. But few red flags could indicate
  that something might be wrong. Crying, a
  withdrawn behavior when other children are
  around, or getting terrified of school, might be
  a few signs that you need to talk to the teachers
  and have a watch on your child's friends also.
