    • Give your child many chances for socialization, including joining an after school club or an extra-curricular activity 
    • Schedule play dates with friends from the neighborhood or friends from school 
    • Role play meeting a new child with your child, greeting each other in a friendly way and making conversation
    • Practice partaking in conversation with your child and other social skills 
    • Model for your child how to be a good friend and make a friend
