Kids who have strong, connected relationships are more resilient because they have a support system to lean on during challenging times! How confident does your child feel about making quality friendships? What about handling those tricky social interactions? 

In this engaging class, students will learn what makes for healthy, happy, and meaningful relationships with friends and family. They will identify qualities found in healthy relationships, as well as friendship deal-breakers. Students will learn helpful tips for navigating the more tricky social moments and unkind behavior of others, and discover their style of speaking up with a fun quiz. Even more, students will learn about the importance of asking for help when needed, and then accepting that support from the people they trust.

After this class, your child will feel excited for friendships and more confident about handling those tricky social problems. 

This lesson is designed to be fun and informative, and taught through interactive discussion, games, and worksheets. Due to the activities and topic, it is requested that students turn their video camera on for class (it improves communication)!

Students will learn to:
1. Notice qualities of healthy relationships, such as trust, kindness, & forgiveness
2. Practice using a tool for greater self-awareness
3. Understand the common motives behind unkind behavior (tricky social interactions) and how to address it in a constructive way
4. Discover their own "speak-up style"
5. Identify who is in their support network & how to ask them for help
