As children grow into socialization, the need to make and keep friends becomes a major issue for them. Friendships play a critical role in their lives, shaaping their social skills and helping them forge a sense of identity and a feeling of belonging. Friends matter to children. The rewards of friendship-a mutual relationship built on understanding, trust, sharing, and concern for one another-can be great, but for children whose social skills are still evolving friendships can be a source of anxiety.
The lessons provided in Guidance are designed to help children develop skills for building and maintaining friendships. Friendship is the first topic of third grade guidance.
