The Friendship Book : A Guide to Making and Keeping Friends – Dr. Katie O’Connell & Lynn Huggins-Cooper

Children can learn to make friends, keep friends and be a good friend to others with this delightful activity book, devised by child clinical psychologist Dr Katie O’Connell.

Friendships can be a truly wonderful thing – they can brighten our days, and fill our lives with love and laughter. However, for many children, friendships can sometimes be a source of anxiety – when they fall out with others, find themselves shut out of social groups, or struggle to make new friends.

• Make new friends when they feel lonely
• To be a kind and supportive friend to others
• Navigate the sometimes choppy waters of interpersonal relationships

It features more than 30 coloring, drawing, and journaling activities for young readers; and showcases charming and expressive watercolor illustrations by Stef Murphy.

It’s packed with practical suggestions and helpful strategies to help them handle situations they find difficult or overwhelming.

All the activities have been devised with the help of childhood development expert Dr. Katie O’Connell, and are perfect for parents, caregivers, teachers, therapists, and youth leaders who want to help children improve their social skills.
