4 Ways to Encourage Your Kid to Make New Friends & Help Prevent Bullying! by Dr. Josephine Dlugopolski - Gach

Children who tend to be alone are easy targets for bullies. Here are four ways to help encourage your child to make friends!

• Get kids involved in organizations or sports activities that interest them.
• Regularly have children over to play at your house to develop friendships.
• Encourage kids to play with a boy or girl on the playground who seems to be playing alone and is withdrawn from other kids. 
• Volunteer at your kids' school during recess or lunch to get an idea of class dynamics and see how your child interacts with other kids. 

Your support is key!
