This episode is all about childhood friendships; the high and lows, ins and outs and how we can help our children navigate them better.
As humans we are social animals - we want to belong, we want to be accepted, be part of a collective and friendships serve that purpose for us. When it comes to school - friendships are the reason children stay happy and bounce into school. When they are struggling with friendships it can create a whole host of other issues.
