Welcome to How to Make and Keep Friends Many kids struggle with social nuances which can make it difficult for them to form lasting friendships. To help kids during those times, parents and kids often need quick social skills advice that is easily understood and even easier to do in the moment. Our tips have been successful for children with mild to moderate social challenges. While some of the children who have learned these techniques have a specific special needs diagnosis, many do not. Any child who struggles socially and needs a little extra support will benefit from our tips and strategies found in our books. In March of 2015, we started a blog on our website at www.howtomakeandkeepfriends.com. We are happy to share all of the posts from this past year with you in this e-book in the hopes of continued enhancement of the social success of kids everywhere
