Friendship Flipbook

I literally flip over flipbooks. They are such a time saver. I simply print, reorder the pages, fold them over, staple together and voila! I have a totally engaging activity that meets a need that my kids can work through.

I like having quite a few on hand. You never know when you need a good calm down lesson or a place for kids to put their worries.

My newest obsession is this Friendship Flipbook. I cannot believe how many girls come to me for issues with their friendship. I like this flipbook because it is a quick and easy way for the girls to get their issues out of their heads and onto paper. Once it is on paper, it is easy to work with and the root of the issue can be better addressed.

It is so fun to see the light bulb go off and for the girls to realize how silly
some of their problems really are. I like watching them figure out how easily they can make up once they fully understand how their actions made their friend feel. Digging into the root of their issues leads to some awesome discussion.

I have found this very resource valuable for identifying not just the silly playground problems, but personality, friendship skills, and social skills deficits. I have uncovered more frenemy situations than I ever imagined from these flipbooks and have been able to use this information to better run my small groups.

I also did not realize how many kids have issues making friends! A lot of the conflicts arise from a misunderstanding between kids who are struggling
to form friendships or who need help learning how to make a friend.

Childhood is hard. Getting along with everyone is hard. Getting into conflicts is a normal part of growing up. This flipbook makes dealing with those conflicts a little bit easier.
