Girls and Friendships in Elementary School
All girls are worthy of friendship, love, support, kindness, safety, well-being, and adults who see and reinforce the best in them. This course is for parents and caregivers of girls in grades K-5 who wish to support girls' healthy friendship skills. Whether your girl is lonely, aggressive, or a bystander (or at times all three!), this class can provide some helpful insights. Parents/caregivers will support one another and learn more about:
- Typical elementary-age social and emotional development
- Cliques, social pressure, "relational aggression" and bullying
- Specific tactics for coaching a girl through friendship challenges
This course will run 1.5 hours once weekly for eight weeks. This is a parent-only class, sibling care is available.
