Peninsula School Learning Team Presentation & Discussion: Friendship Matters

Friendship Matters: Helping Children Build Strong Social Connections Friendship is a vital part of middle childhood—shaping confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging. Join our Learning Support Team for an engaging conversation on the role of friendship in your child’s growth. Together, we’ll explore: What healthy friendship looks like in middle childhood, the difference between friends and acquaintances, benefits of strong peer connections, gender dynamics in friendship building, how to support your child in making and sustaining friendships, & resources to help families navigate this important stage. This workshop offers practical tools and thoughtful insights for parents who want to better understand and nurture their child’s social world.
