Many children find it difficult to etablish and maintain friendships. A lack of confidence and the skills necessary to feel comforable in social settings may impact upon all aspects of their school day and their life beyond the classroom. Working through this programme will help such children to learn the essential communication and relationship skills that so many of us take for granted. The Friendship Formula's unique approach provides focused intervention in the form of 40 sessions, divided into four units focusing on self awareness, emotional awareness, conversational skills and friendship skills. Aimed at children aged 8 and above (upper primary through into secondary school), the programme offers the perfect progression from the "Time to Talk" and "Socially Speaking" books written by the same author.
