Check out this CROSSOVER episode with Kids These Days!
Ever wondered how to teach your child about friendships? Can you imagine a world where children navigate relationships with grace and ease? Discover some insight in our enlightening chat with Leslie Bolser, Curriculum Director for Core Central Values. Drawing from her wealth of knowledge, she takes us on a journey of friendships from the early years to the tumultuous teenage era. We explore the significance of enabling our younger kids to articulate care in their relationships and providing scripts for interacting with their pals. For parents navigating the complexities of childhood friendships, especially those with neurologically or developmentally delayed children, this conversation is a treasure trove of invaluable insights.

Fasten your seatbelts as we also venture into the often-misunderstood realm of teenage friendships. Leslie shares her expertise on guiding teens through expressing care for their peers, managing scenarios where their choice of friends might not align with ours, and fostering positive influences. We also discuss the ever-evolving role of technology in friendships, particularly as a means for teenagers to express their relationships. This episode is an essential guide for any parent or guardian seeking to teach and model healthy friendships to children from early childhood through their teenage years. With Leslie's guidance, we learn that friendship isn't automatic but an intricate process that requires understanding, patience, and the right tools. So tune in, and let's make friendship a priority.
