 Part of the Quick Reference Guides for Early Childhood Best Practices, this laminated, six-page primer gives early childhood educators practical guidance on helping children lay the early foundations for healthy, enjoyable friendships. Colorful graphics, lists, and tips instantly engage teachers and give them an at-a-glance understanding of:

  • which component skills children need for building friendships
  • how emerging friendship skills change over time
  • how to nurture friendships and support children who may need help developing connections
  • how to partner with families to support budding friendships

These developmentally appropriate practices are ready to use with children from birth to five across settings: in homes, classrooms, or professional learning environments.

Perfect for professional learning, these 16 Quick Reference Guides will put practical knowledge and ready-to-use strategies in the hands of every educator in your early childhood program. Developed by an early childhood expert with more than 40 years of experience in the field, these laminated, six-page primers cover specific topics with explicit links to core developmental domains: cognitive, physical, socio-emotional, communication, and adaptive. Teachers of children from birth to five will get tips they can trust on developmentally appropriate practices-not only within developmental domains, but in other key areas with a broad effect on a childs life (such as mealtime, friendships, and creativity)
