Friendships are amazing, but they can also be confusing and hard. Friendships can be tough, especially for young girls trying to find themselves in life and build confidence to tackle the big world in front of them! Friendships and social situations at this age can be tricky, and knowing how to handle those situations can be even trickier.

The lessons focus on curbing catty behaviors that often lead to drama among peers and encourage being a positive friend who communicates in a positive manner.
