Friendships inevitably involve disagreements and personality clashes from time to time. It is important to teach your child how to handle these situations in a healthy manner.
Here are some tips that can help support your child's friendship with others, allowing them to embrace their friends in a polite and respectful manner.

Action for Happiness
How can we find a greater sense of purpose and meaning? Being part of something bigger than ourselves - and focusing on the things we value - is vital for our wellbeing. So let's take time to reflect on what we care about this month and prioritise the things that matter.
You can also use their app to receive the daily calendar actions and join a supportive community putting these into practice. We also highly recommend listening to Josie's fantastic podcast for additional inspiration for how to put our May actions into practice.
