  Case: No Friends
During the formal parent teacher interview the parent expresses their concern over the fact that the child has no friends during playtime. They are visually upset and want to know what you are going to do about it. How do you handle this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would change my classroom arrangement into small groups and ensure that group activities, such as learning centers begin to take place. I will also find that the student has a "buddy" that he can shadow throughout the hallways. This will hopefully help their child branch out and find new friends.

Comments: I agree with this statement because having more group learning lessons and a buddy program will help the child meet new people and also get more comfortable being with others. I would also recommend having the parents encourage the student to join a club or an afterschool sport. Small group learning, socialization through school organizations and various group programs will help the child build more friendships and feel more confident.

Comments: Group activities help students get to know each other. The buddy system works well because it gives the child a friend to talk to when he or she needs help or wants to discuss his or her interests.
