AGES 5–9 · Tricky FRIENDSHships
FRIENDSHIPS CAN GET TRICKY.
Can your child navigate them without people-pleasing, shutting down or avoiding conflict?
Being left out.
A joke that goes too far.
Wanting to say no.
Not knowing whether to speak up or let it go.
There isn't always a simple “right” answer. Children learn to notice, think and choose what to do next.

WHO
Ages 5–9
THEY'LL LEARN TO...
READ THE ROOM
Notice social cues & make sense of the situation
Children learn to look beyond what was said and pay attention to what else might be happening.
CHECK INWARD
Recognise body cues & emotional reactions
So they become more aware of what's happening before emotions take over.
SHOW UP KINDLY
Consider others without losing their own voice
Because empathy doesn't have to mean always giving in.
WORK THINGS OUT
Choose responses that fit the situation
Because different friendship moments may call for different choices.
