Student Wellbeing

No matter our age, friendships can have something magical about them. Moments of joy and delight shared with the people we value, not only make life more fun – they have hidden layers of benefit. 

Building human connectedness and creating life-affirming experiences, friendships help build emotional, social and psychological competence. Friendship also gives each of us the opportunity for growth.

Maggie Dent is an Australian parenting author, educator and speaker and has a special interest in the early years and adolescence. The link below takes you on a journey with Maggie exploring the fun, fickle and fragile world of friendship. It is an article initially written by Essential Baby. It speaks of the joys and challenges of friendships which children may experience and how you, their parents and carers, may be able to assist.
