As a parent, to hear that your child is having trouble making friends can be absolutely devastating! No one likes the thought of their child ever feeling lonely or without a friend. Lets face it, everyone has has a desire to be wanted and included.
Myself and a group of talented Australian bloggers, all mothers and teachers, have recognised this common concern among parents and recorded a YouTube clip through a Google+ ‘hangout’. It is in this clip that we discuss practical strategies that might just help children make and maintain friends.
Wonderful bloggers featured include –

Thanks for sharing your wonderful strategies. I particularly love your idea of using puppets in role play situations:)
