How You Can Help Your Child Make Friends At And Outside Of School

Lonely girl

Are you new to the area? Is your child starting school? Is your child struggling to make friends?

It is hard for parents to watch their child having trouble making friends in the classroom, on the playground, in the neighborhood, or any other place children their age mix and mingle.

Here is a one tool that will help your child break the ice at and outside of school.
