What can I do to help my child who is having a hard time making friends?

One thing you could try is talking to your child about their experiences at school and how they are feeling. Ask them if there's anything that makes them feel uncomfortable or out of place, such as not knowing anyone or not being able to make new friends quickly. You might also suggest activities outside of school like sports teams or clubs where they can meet other kids in similar age groups. Finally, encourage them to be open-minded and patient with themselves while they're trying to make friends.
