Relationships matter. Without them our young people can become isolated. We all have our stories of challenging family relationships and friendships lost. But as our children get older, we need to focus on helping them independently manage the reality of social interactions. In this episode I talk about the difference between dynamic and static relationships and why it matters. I also discuss the AAA approach I’ve used to support my daughter: Ability, Access, Acceptance. These three factors can serve as a structure as you support your child to build their relationship skills.    Useful Links https://www.andnextcomesl.com/2017/03/list-of-social-skills-to-teach-kids.html   https://suelarkey.com.au/promoting-social-understanding-social-scripts/   Follow us on Instagram/Twitter/Facebook @expandingworlds   Visit the podcast website https://expandingworlds.com/   For resources to support families to plan a better future for their child visit  https://redgiraffesolutions.com/
