Friendship is one of the great joys of childhood — and sometimes one of its hardest parts.How can we help children build strong, healthy relationships while giving them the skills to navigate conflict, exclusion, shifting friendships, relational aggression, and other social challenges?
Join Smith Jewish Academy for the second annual Or l’Derekh: Ideas That Illuminate, an evening of conversation and practical insight focused on helping children build healthy friendships.
Featuring Julie Rainer, M.Ed., school counselor, author, and friendship educator, in conversation with Nina Badzin, SJA alumni parent and host of the Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship podcast.
Together, Julie and Nina will explore:
• What healthy friendship looks like at different ages
• When to step in and when to let children work through conflict themselves
• How children can navigate exclusion, conflict, and shifting friendships
• Ways parents and educators can help children develop confidence and healthy relationship skills
Whether you’re a parent, educator, grandparent, or simply someone who cares about the social and emotional lives of children, this conversation offers an opportunity to learn, reflect, and consider an essential question: How do we help children become the kind of people who can form and sustain healthy relationships?
