4 ways to help your child make friends easily

It is not easy to quickly adapt to new people and things after changing the learning environment. I feel so lonely in this new class! How can I make friends?

I just entered the fifth grade, and now I have to get to know most of the classmates in this class again. I really want to join a group of people in our class. They often discuss the plots of idol dramas that I also like after class. Once I wanted to join the conversation, but they didn’t give me a chance to speak, as if I was air. I know that they are good friends, and they should exclude other students from joining. It is difficult to make friends with them.

For you, going from fourth grade to fifth grade is not only the beginning of a new semester, but also means you need to adapt to a new environment. In fact, it is not just Xiaohan. Many people have had the same troubles as you, even adults have them, like changing to a new class, transferring to a new school or joining a new company.

Do you remember when you first entered kindergarten or elementary school, you had the same feeling? At that time, you didn’t have any familiar companions, and you didn’t know who to talk to about your worries or sadness… It was really lonely! Later, what did you do to gradually reduce this feeling of loneliness, feel more comfortable and happy, and even make some friends?

No problem, I believe that as long as you are determined, it will not be difficult for you! The little angel provides Xiaohan with a magic weapon to change her mind. With it, Xiaohan may be able to add more ways to make friends!

Making friends involves getting to know them and letting them get to know you, both of which take time. Xiaohan is amazing in that she takes the initiative to approach friends and increases her chances of meeting new friends. But they are not as enthusiastic as you, and besides rejecting new friends, is it possible that they know each other and get to know each other quickly, but it takes some time for them to get to know you, and it can't be rushed.

Xiaohan would like to share what she knows with her classmates, so she joins their conversation. In addition, when your classmates are sharing things, listening to them and using various non-verbal or verbal expressions to let them know that you understand what they are saying is also a way to make friends. For example: look at the speaker, nod, smile when he is happy or respond to his mood, and even join the topic appropriately (such as: "Yes! I am the same as you.")... etc. Because this process means that you understand the other person, are willing to respect what he says, and are attracted by his conversation content. Think about it, if you were the other person, you would definitely be willing to get close to such a friend!

Xiaohan can care about who likes the same idol drama as you, and go to chat with these companions. This idea is great, because there are common topics, and it will be very interesting to discuss. But from another perspective, approaching classmates with different interests from you can not only increase your understanding of new things, but also by asking them and listening to their ideas on different things, it is also a way to approach new friends!

It is not easy to integrate into a group (including class or small group) all at once, but Xiaohan can help you get to know someone you want to get close to, so that you have a companion to share things with in class, and you will be less lonely. And after making a friend, you can slowly add new friends, and one day you will have more and more friends.

If you have confirmed many times that the idol drama fans in your class do not seem to welcome you, it may mean that they just do not have the energy to expand their circle of friends. Although it is a pity, it seems that they cannot force it. You have lost some friends, but they have lost an opportunity to make good friends!

Xiaohan is amazing. She knows exactly what she wants in friends. Only with this kind of care can one cherish friends more. I wonder who is the lucky one who will become your good friend?
