You Can’t Come to my Birthday Party: Navigating Friendship

Friendship is often underrated considering the tremendous impact it has on our well-being. The ability to make connections is something that is frequently overlooked as a positive developmental influence. We don’t always realize how attached young children are to their friends. Participants will learn about the importance of developing connections and explore ways to encourage positive friendships.
