Making friends comes naturally to many children. But even young children may find forming friendships a highly complex business, overlaid with social rules and expectations.
The Early Years Respectful Relationships bundle will help children to develop respectful relationships, build friendships, navigate conflict and value difference. Each card set will spark conversations about what healthy relationships look like and the qualities that help us connect with each other in meaningful ways, even when we come from different backgrounds and families.
This value pack includes:
- Two Worlds—a beautifully illustrated resource for families experiencing separation, significant transitions or life changes.
- Cars’R’Us—features a bunch of quirky, colourful vehicles, perfect for exploring emotions and learning how to make good choices.
- Strength Cards for Kids—great for supporting children to notice their strengths and appreciate the strengths of others.
Suggested uses for this pack:
- Each card set comes with exclusive access to an online Toolbox of extras, including a digital booklet containing activity ideas, access to a digital set of the cards, ideas banks, blogs, card hack videos, interviews and other support material.
- These resources can be used across the curriculum to support social and emotional skills development, build self-confidence and help children connect with others.
- Great for working with children and families from different backgrounds and in different settings—in classrooms, groups or one-on-one. They can also be shared with parents and carers to support their child’s development.
