The Complexities of Friendship

Friendships can be one of the most rewarding—and challenging—parts of childhood. In this episode, we explore why friendships can be so complex, how they shape children's wellbeing, and the common challenges young people face. We'll also share practical ways parents can support their child to navigate friendships, build resilience, manage conflict, and develop healthy, positive relationships.
