Creating friendship develops life skills that will increase your child’s wisdom, confidence and self-esteem. Children will learn the meaning of true friendship. They will learn that a good friend will have their best interests at heart and have their back. Someone who is not your friend will not have these qualities. [Source]

Friendship Cards Social Skills Prompts from Rachel Lynette on Teachers Pay Teachers
Some kids make friends naturally, but for others, making and keeping friends is not so easy. Studies have shown that having even one friend significantly improves a child’s emotional health and school performance. Some children may struggle to make and keep friends because they do not intuitively know how to be a good friend. Teaching these children friendship strategies may help. Use these friendship cards individually as writing prompts or in groups for discussion.
