Title: Friendship Skills (Small Group)
Grades: Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd Overview: We designed a four-session, psychoeducational small group for select first and second graders who have demonstrated difficulty maintaining friendships. The goals of this small group are to promote specific friendship and social skills that lead to improved friendships, and to provide group time for students to practice those skills. Friendship skills covered in group include talking and listening skills, caring for the feelings of others, and identifying fair solutions to conflicts. Ideally, the skills that students learn in the group environment will transfer into healthy decision-making and interpersonal development in the other areas of their lives.
