New Friend at Recess

Some kids make friends effortlessly. Others hang back, watching from the sidelines, wishing they could join in but not knowing how. If your child is the latter, you've probably tried everything — playdates, encouragement, even pushing them a little. The challenge? Friendship requires social scripts that shy kids haven't learned yet.

New Friend at Recess teaches your child a simple, concrete script for making friends: watch the game, find something you both like, ask to join. The story models this script in action, with your child as the hero who successfully makes a new friend at recess.
