Friendships Are Built One Interaction at a Time.

Building confidence and meaningful friendships through real social practice.
We're Hiring a Part-Time Social Coach

Does This Sound Familiar?

Your child...

  • wants friends but isn't sure how to join in.
  • watches other kids play instead of becoming part of the group.
  • starts conversations but struggles to keep them going.
  • worries about saying the wrong thing.
  • has friends at school but rarely gets invited outside of school.
  • comes home talking about everyone else's friendships.
  • is kind, funny, and caring, but friendships still don't seem to come easily.

If you're nodding your head, you're not alone.

These are exactly the kinds of social situations we help children, teens, and young adults practice every week.

More Than Just a Social Skills Group

Learning social skills and practicing social skills are two different things. Kids need both.

Every week, our members spend time learning practical skills like how to join a conversation, make a friend, keep a friendship going, handle disagreements, read social situations, and navigate the challenges that naturally come with relationships.

Then they have the opportunity to put those skills into practice with other children, teens, and young adults in a fun, supportive environment.

As they interact, our trained social coaches are right there to provide encouragement, feedback, and guidance in the moment. When someone isn't sure how to join a group, interrupts without realizing it, gets frustrated, or misses a social cue, those real-life moments become opportunities to learn and grow.

The lesson gives them the tools. The practice helps them build confidence. The in-the-moment coaching helps them put it all together.

For ages 8 through young adult. In-person in Tyngsboro, MA and online.

Your child knows who they’d like to be friends with. They just don’t know what to say after “hi.” That space between saying hello and becoming friends is where a lot of kids get stuck. Start with one question: “Who would you like to get to know better?” Then talk it through together: Where do you usually see them? What do you have in common? What could you talk about next time? This time of year, Halloween makes it easy. “What are you going to be for Halloween?” is a great way to start a conversation. At Simply Social Kids, kids and teens practice these exact steps during games, activities, and conversations with peers.

After nearly a year in my window seat, my creepy doll decided it was time for a walk. 👀 She found a new spot on the neighbor's mailbox. Sometimes being friendly means pranking your neighbor! 🎃She still doesn't have a name. What should we call her? Drop your best ideas below! 👇 ...

Costume? Check. Candy bag? Check. Someone to go trick or treating with? That part can be harder.The social side of Halloween can take a little planning. Help your child practice inviting a friend, talk through what to do if that friend already has plans, and give them words to use when they need a break.One idea: invite neighbors over for pizza or snacks before trick or treating. When it’s time to head out, everyone goes together, and your child is already part of the group.And if a big night of trick or treating isn’t their thing, having one friend over for a Halloween movie is a fun way to connect, too.If making friends feels hard for your child, our social skills groups can help. Book a free phone call with Nadine to talk about your child and find a group that fits: calendly.com/simplysocialkids/schedule-free-trialSave this post for your Halloween planning, and share it with a parent who could use these ideas. ...

Your child says, “I have no friends.” The teacher says, “They get along with everyone.” Who’s right? Both can be true. A child can chat with classmates all day and still go home feeling like no one would call them a friend. Here’s how to get a clearer picture: At the conference, ask the teacher for specific examples of when your child connects with peers. At home, ask your child, “Who do you feel most comfortable with?” or “Who would you like to get to know better?” Those answers give you a starting point. At Simply Social Kids, our weekly groups give kids and teens a place to get to know peers, with expert coaches there to support them. Contact us to schedule a free trial for your child. calendly.com/simplysocialkids/schedule-free-trial#SimplySocialKids #ParentTeacherConference #Friendship #SocialSkills #ParentingTips #KidsAndTeens ...
