Children who are not socially challenged seem to intuitively know how to make friends.  In contrast, children with social difficulties struggle with this ability. They may lack the confidence or may not know how to reach out to others in appropriate ways.  Some may not recognize the need to be friendly to make a friend. Others may try to be overly friendly with everyone and try to rush friendships. 

The good news is that with strong parent support and guidance, your child can develop the skills needed to make friends. Try these strategies to help your child.
