How can these videos help a child who finds making friends hard?
They model small steps a young child can copy: saying hello, asking "Do you want to play?", taking turns and finding a game everyone can join. Watching together and acting the steps out with toys afterward helps the ideas stick.
How do I use RepeatWatch before a playdate or the first day of preschool?
Open a song such as "Making New Friends" and choose Repeat one so your child can learn the words. Drag A and B around the line about asking to play, and set Stop after to two or three loops to keep it short.
Frequently asked questions
Which videos are for parents?
The final video, from the Child Mind Institute, is for grown-ups. It explains how parents can support healthy friendships. Everything before it is made for children ages 3–6, ideally watched together.
Is it normal for a preschooler to have no close friend yet?
Many young children play side by side before they play together, and every child warms up at their own pace. If you are worried about how your child gets along with others, talk with their teacher or doctor.
