What Is Friendship?: Games and Activities to Help Children to Understand Friendship
What are friends and why do we need them? How do we talk to our friends and how do we listen to what they have to say? What is peer pressure and how do we deal with it? Many children identify friendships as being a vital part of achieving emotional well-being, but some children experience difficulties both initiating and maintaining friendships. This fun and accessible programme contains detailed instructions and photocopiable handouts for teaching children about friendship. The book combines group activities, individual work, homework exercises and games, and will be especially useful for groups containing children with developmental and social difficulties, such as ADHD and autism.
The book is divided into three parts. Part I contains three chapters that review different aspects of multicultural education and general guidelines for its implementation. Part II has five chapters. Each chapter explores how a specific point of division in our society (race, economics, culture, gender, and abilities/disabilities) affects children’s lives and worldviews and how we can encourage children to challenge inequities related to it. Part III is a story—a vision—of how families and schools, using the insights and skills described in the previous chapters, can critically and compassionately collaborate
