When children move to a new school, parents are often more worried about how they will adjust in a new environment and who will help them or how they will make new friends. Teaching your child how to make friends is not up to school, it’s your duty. A child never learns from a school how to make a good first impression; he/she learns it from their parents. There are many ways to teach your child how to make friends at school. In this article, we have mentioned some easiest ways that will help your child to make friends at new school. Be A Connector: If you think that other children would come to your child for talking, you could be wrong, as it doesn’t happen always, so you have to be a connector. Try to hang out with multiple students post school or with their parents. It will help you connect with the kids and you can make them connect to your child. Listen To Others: When your child communicates with others, teach them not to talk about themselves, but to listen to others as well. The most important part of making friends is listening to them. Every person has a story and they want others to listen to them, so ask your child to be patient and to listen. Tell them to learn about other’s interests, hobbies, passion, etc. Talking To Strangers: Your child is going to a new school and that doesn’t mean they can talk to their classmates only. There are other people as well who can be their good friends in future. So, make them get out of their limited zone and ask them to even talk to strangers, provided it’s not too forced.

But, they have to start this at some point in your life to make an approach to talk to unknown people, so why not now? Set Conversational Goals: How many people your child talks to or what kind of talks they want to have with it’s up to them. However, if they show signs of nervousness about talking, ask them to keep a conversational goal. If they find it comfortable to talk to others, then set a higher goal for them. If they don’t know how to communicate with others at first, ask them to try to complement people about their dress, shoes or anything to start a conversation. Don’t make them Feel Awkward: It is normal if someone doesn’t reply when your child first starts the conversation but don’t make them feel awkward about it. Rejection is a part of making good friends. The good part of getting a rejection is that it helps one realise that not every person around you can be your friend. Also, tell them not to stop talking to others if someone doesn’t reply, instead ask them to look around as there can be are many people who can be interested in making new friends just as your child. It’s not difficult to make friends at new school, if you tell your kids how to start a conversation. Once they start knowing others, more children will reach out to them.
