Young children make friends easily. They can become friends with almost anyone they interact with. But as they grow older, this process becomes harder because they develop interests and playstyles and this makes friends or lack thereof apparent. This can make your child feel broken or it can make them feel like they don’t fit in. And that’s where friend zones come in. It’s all about expanding your child’s social circles. These are activities or places that offer a chance for your child to get to know new people and make new friends. Here are a few examples: 1. Non-competitive activity clubs: For example, it could be something like a chess class or an art class where they can talk while doing an activity 2. Individual sports that provide group opportunities: For example, it could be something like a judo class or track & field, where the events are mostly individual but training offers an opportunity to interact with other people 3. Book clubs based on mutual interests: A great example is if your child is interested in comics and manga, organizing a reading club where they can all relax and read manga would be a great idea If you want to learn more detailed approaches to talk to your child about friendship or relationships in general, check out my book “How to Talk to Kids About Anything!”
