Being a true friend and including others.

Friendship stories for kids

Making friends, including the one who's left out, and making up after a fight. These match a lot of what happens at nursery and school.

Talking about friendship at home

  • Ask what makes someone a good friend, and make a list together.
  • Talk about how to include a child who is playing alone.
  • Practise friendly words like "Do you want to play?"
