Infographic: Teaching Children How To Make Friends
Knowing how to make friends is a crucial aspect of child development. Children learn how to communicate, work with others, and problem solve through their interactions with friends.
Unfortunately, making friends does not come easily to every child. Children who don’t know how to make friends often suffer from low self-esteem, loneliness, depression, and anxiety.
I created this infographic as a tool to help children understand the basics of how to make friends. A printable version of this infographic can be found here!

Absolutely! Some kids just find it a little harder than others and need some extra guidance.
Thanks Alex!
That’s great that your son is comfortable socializing with others. It makes such a difference in kid’s confidence and self esteem when they are able to make friends!
Thanks for the feedback Scott!
The beginning of the school year is so rough when kids struggle to make friends. Good luck to your son!
Thanks Jessie! I appreciate you stopping by 🙂
I have to show this to my 5 year old. She sometimes goes overboard and is aggressive when meeting people. 🙂
Lol! At least you know she isn’t shy!
My son is shy too so I understand. Hopefully this helps. Best of luck!
That’s great Orana! It’s always nice when they go off on their own and interact with other kids!
