5 Skills For Making New Friends!

1. Introduce yourself to as many people as possible; say, for example, "Hi, my name is Sherman...what's yours?" Say this with a SMILE, and offer your HANDSHAKE!

2. When you have met somebody new, ask questions...find out what type of things your new friend is interested in, and encourage them to talk about THEIR interests!

3. It's OK to make friends with kids who are popular, but also look for new friends among the kids who are eating, walking, or playing alone!

4. Remember that good friendships are often developed slowly; don't rush too much!

5. EVERYBODY, at times, is shy about making new friends...so don't hesitate to take the initiative. Remember that your BEST FRIENDS, were once your NEW FRIENDS!
