The social world of children is complex! The media reports about bullying and cyberbullying.

What can parents do to help children navigate the complicated world of friendship and social relationships?
- Friendship: What is it and why is it so important?
- What core skills do children need to face social challenges?
- What can parents do to foster empathy and compassion?
- What tools can we use to help children develop their brains for social and emotional learning?
