Emotional Literacy & Conflict Resolution Skills For Children
Friendship Cards are a new educational tool thought to improve the lives of whoever makes use of them.
The cards have been developed by Relationships are Forever Foundation, with the intention of helping children and youth develop their abilities to build strong relationships with their families, friends and others that they will come across during the course of their lives.
This initiative became one of the winners of the National Award for Social Impact, as it was recognized to be positive for society.
Friendship Cards – a fun way to help children develop skills to build a strong friendship, encouraging them to express their feelings, discuss their differences and resolve them in a constructive way.
Even if you are really good friends with someone, you can still have arguments or disagreements. That’s no big deal once you understand what’s really going on and how you can work things out together.
These cards help you to:
- Feel comfortable in saying how you feel, talking with each other and finding out what caused the disagreement;
- Realise that you may have said or done something wrong;
- Focus on taking positive steps and avoiding hurtful behaviour so that you can make up and be good friends again.
