6 Tips to Help Your Child Make
New Friends
1. Build social skills:
Social 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 politeness:
Teach 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/activities:
Games, sports and interactive activities are a natural conversation starter and help in breaking
the ice. Having a common goal in sports can help children to automatically indulge in having a
conversation.
