Friends and healthy relationships
Children build healthy relationships from birth and develop friendships throughout their childhood.
The key is having healthy relationships where the child can feel happy, safe, supported, trusted and loved. If they are in a relationship where they don’t feel these things then it may be useful for them to speak to someone about it.
