The child has no friends: what parents should tell the child
23.01.2025 11:21
Has your child admitted that he has no friends?
Don't criticize the baby! And don't even try to explain the problem by the "bad" or "wrong" character of the child, otherwise you will make your heir even more complex.
Telling a child that “there’s nothing to worry about” is also not worth it: don’t devalue a child’s experiences.
It would be better to provide moral support to your son or daughter.
Calm your child down and explain that finding friends is entirely possible. You just need to act in a certain way.
So what do you say to a child who has no friends?
"Ask other children questions"
The child must understand the following: in order to have friends, he must learn to initiate communication himself.
Explain to your child that it is worth asking children questions more often that cannot be answered with “yes” or “no”.
Examples: “What is your favorite toy?”, “What do you like to play?”, “What is your favorite book?”
"Teach others to listen"
It is not enough to know how to ask questions. You also need to listen carefully to the answers.
Explain to your child that interrupting someone is not allowed.
If a child learns to listen to others, he will most likely have many friends.
Being an active listener is an important skill for being liked by others.
"Don't push yourself if they don't want to talk to you"
And explain to your child that you shouldn't force other people to answer questions.
Tell your child the following: “If you feel that the other child is reluctant to respond, then you should not force friendship.”
