Welcome to the Children’s Friendships Podcast. I’m Dr Caron Carter a Senior Lecturer and Researcher in Early Childhood and Childhood Education at Sheffield Hallam University. This is a Podcast for academics, teachers, practitioners, and parents. This podcast seeks to explore ways of supporting children’s friendships in educational contexts. This series has been inspired by research I have carried out in this field for over decade and a recent research project on maintaining children’s friendships during the Covid-19 pandemic. This podcast series was supported by a Sheffield Hallam University fellowship.
