Friendships have two key parts: making friends and keeping them. In this self-paced course, we focus on the second part—nurturing friendships and building meaningful connections that last. Students will explore how to navigate the ups and downs of friendships, from setting healthy boundaries to creating balanced relationships based on trust, empathy, and respect. Through realistic scenarios, interactive games like "Too Much or Just Right," and tools like the "Friendship Balance" scale, students will learn practical skills for evaluating and improving their social connections. We'll also cover how to handle the evolving nature of friendships, celebrate each other’s successes, and reflect on being a supportive friend. How the Class is Set Up: Each section will include a video where we go over a specific concept, usually through a Google Slide presentation. Some videos will have us doing activities "together" using props, games, experiments, or slides as you learn a particular skill. Then, you will complete an assignment, which comes with a dedicated video explaining what to do. Some sections will also include a "Real World Lab," where you'll put your skills into practice in everyday situations and reflect on what happened. Feedback will be provided within 24-48 hours of assignment submission. This self-paced class format gives you the flexibility to watch the videos and complete the projects at times that are convenient for you. It’s perfect for students who want to take small steps privately (as opposed to a live class) while learning how to navigate social dynamics. If you're also interested in learning how to make friends and start conversations, check out my other course, How to Meet People, Make Friends & Make Conversations which focuses on the foundational skills of meeting people and making new connections!

Active Listening and Empathy
In this section, we dive into the heart of good conversations: active listening. You'll learn to distinguish between active and passive listening through real-world scenarios and examples. We'll play an interactive game to practice these skills in a fun and engaging way. After that, we’ll explore empathy—what it means to truly understand others and how to spot the difference between empathetic and non-empathetic responses.
Lección 2:
The Friendship Balance
In this section, we explore the give-and-take that forms the foundation of every friendship. We'll use a scale to visualize the balance between giving and receiving in relationships and even dive into some fun percentages to see where things stand. You’ll categorize actions to reflect on what you’re investing (or not) in your friendships. Next, we’ll discuss trust, using a story about a delicate vase to show how precious and crucial this trait is.
Lección 3:
Boundaries and Celebrating Success
In this section, we’ll explore boundaries—what they are, why they matter, and how they help protect us without controlling others. You’ll learn what actions to take if someone crosses your boundaries, and we'll play a fun game called "Too Much or Just Right" to practice recognizing when boundaries are being respected or not. We’ll also touch on celebrating your friends' successes and share some simple ways to show your support.
Lección 4:
The Evolving Nature of Friendship
In this final section, we take a real look at how friendships can change and evolve over time. Relationships might shift or even end due to changing interests, growing up, or life’s natural transitions. But this doesn't have to be negative! We’ll discuss how to hold on to the good memories and lessons learned. You'll go through a checklist to evaluate your current friendships, reflecting on whether they still work for you.
