“Why don’t they care about me?!”

Hi Nadine,

Children who face social challenges often grapple with why their peers don't appear to show interest in them. They may wish for friendships to effortlessly materialize without actively seeking them out. However, this expectation is usually unrealistic. It's essential for kids to grasp the concept that fostering connections requires reciprocated care and effort.

Explore this concept further in our newest video.

If you have a child/teen/young adult who has difficulty making friends, give us a call and see if our program is right for you. Trial groups are free!

Spring and summer enrollment now open - see details below.

Warmly,
