What does it mean to talk to children about friendship and friends?
Of course, you can’t start a conversation about friendship in the younger group, where children from two and a half to three years old study. At this age, they will not fully understand the material presented. Although sometimes teachers are amazed at how little children understand what is bad and what is good.
And in the middle group, the age is appropriate, and the children are already accustomed to going to kindergarten, so for them others are not enemies, but allies. The purpose of a conversation with children is to teach them to clearly express their thoughts and outline the concept of morality. And friendship is an excellent topic for such a useful and educational pastime.
Conversations with children in the middle group can be both general and individual, depending on the needs of the child. Some children are still embarrassed to express their thoughts in front of everyone, especially if their family does not encourage them to do so.

What is the role of parents in raising a child?
It is important for parents to understand that only they are responsible for raising their child. Of course, children receive training in kindergarten, but this is nothing if parents do not impart moral values to their children at home. A teacher is not an enemy who turns a child against you, but an ally. He also cares about your baby's future.
Teachings such as talking with children about friendship and friends are beneficial and make things easier for mom and dad. Parents should take an interest in their child's life. To do this, you need to ask each time how the child spent his day. This way you will help your child not to be a closed person, but teach him to express his thoughts.
Remember, a child is a delicate plant that needs light and water. For children, they are love and attention, that essential vitamin that will help them grow up kind and smart. It is important for parents to nourish the soil so that subsequent information in the form of training is well received. If you treat your child with kindness and understanding, he will always be open to you like a reference book.
Is it easy to teach respect?
Finding a friend is not so difficult, but maintaining a good relationship is more difficult. It is worth teaching a child respect, that a good friend will never betray or hurt. In other words, he will not offend you either in word or deed.
It is important to emphasize that although there may be few friends, other children must also be treated with respect. If they see that someone has no one to play with, they need to come up and take him into the game.
Topics of conversations with children
There are more than enough topics for children's conversations, but this issue must be approached wisely. You shouldn't plan serious training every day. It is quite enough to have such a conversation once a week. And on other days, remind about the problem raised.
Talking to children about friendship and friends has a very positive impact on their lives. Already from kindergarten, a child learns warm relationships. And who knows, maybe this friendship will last a lifetime! The teacher plays a huge role in this.
How to explain to a child what friendship is?
Such a complex concept as friendship cannot be explained in a few words. It is necessary to make not only effort, but also to be patient. It has been scientifically proven that children perceive material better in the form of play. Why not ask the kids to sit in a circle and listen carefully to the teacher so as not to miss the rules of the new game?
A conversation with children about friendship and friends should begin with a question. For example, which one of you has a best friend? Everyone must be given the opportunity to respond. Although at first it will be difficult to maintain order, and the kids’ attention will constantly wander, but it’s worth a try. And if you promise a reward, the kids will stop misbehaving altogether.
Next, it would be good to clearly explain what it means to be friends. At the children's level, it will be something like “to be friends means not to offend, to share your toys and to help.” It is possible that this is also communication, do not forget to say hello and take an interest in your friend’s affairs, etc.
In turn, a friend is someone who is always there and will help in difficult times. For example, to get dressed or put on shoes, teach how to tie shoelaces and a scarf. The one who always shares lunch.
This, of course, is an art - to convey important thoughts to a child, but in simple language. But what won’t educators do for their students? After all, the goal of kindergarten is not just to entertain the child, but to teach.

1. Ritual of the beginning of the lesson. Greetings.
Children sit on chairs in a semicircle.
Psychologist: Hello, guys! In order to start our lesson, we need to sit comfortably on chairs and listen to the music (listening to the melody, and now, let's close our eyes and listen to our breathing.
Psychologist: And so, we are ready to start our lesson, now we will play the game “I Like You.” The ball I hold in my hand will help us express the warm feelings we have towards our friends. So, now we will pass the ball to each other, and talk about why the friend who sits next to us can become our best friend. The game continues until each of us hears warm words addressed to us.
2. Conversation about friendship
Psychologist: Well done guys, you coped with the task ahead of us. Today Mishka came to visit us. He told us in confidence that he had no friends at all. And he asks us to teach him to be friends. Shall we help Mishka? Yes? Then, let's tell Mishka:
• What is friendship?
• Why do we need friends?
Psychologist: Friendship is when people want to be together, when they play together, communicate, and don’t quarrel. Friendship is the smiles of friends. Friends are people with whom we are interested in playing. Friendship is when you know how to come to an agreement without shouting and quarreling; share toys, speak politely and not be rude; be attentive (caring) to a friend; be able to sympathize with a friend. If a friend is happy, then rejoice with him; if there is trouble, then be sad together. Raise your hands if you have friends. (Children raise their hands).
3. Conversation-game “Mood”.
Psychologist: Guys, now I would like to know what your mood is today. Why are you happy or happy?
Guys, look, there are balls on the table here. Let's imagine that these balls are the faces of children we know. You and I need to make these faces happy. To do this, we will take felt-tip pens and draw happy faces with them. But before that, we need to split into pairs. I have ribbons in my hands, come up and grab any ribbon. Those who have the ends of the same ribbon in their hands will stand in pairs. Well done! Now take one ball for each pair and get to work!
4. Game “Good - bad”.
Psychologist: In order to teach Mishka to be friends, we will play with you the game “Good - Bad”. Let's listen to the rules of the game. I will talk about people's actions. If the deed is good, clap your hands; if it is bad, remain silent. (The psychologist names actions: “quarrel, help others, fight, make peace, greet each other, brag, ask for forgiveness, be greedy, share, call names, say nice words, be polite, be rude, give in”).
Psychologist: Now let's tell Mishka what needs to be done so that they want to be friends with us. How to be friends properly? (children's answers). So, what should you do to avoid quarreling? (Give in, share).
Let's show Mishka how to be friends and help friends.
5. Dynamic pause “If there is a good friend”
The mood has dropped, the matter is falling out of hand. children stand facing each other, hands up, gradually lower their hands
But all is not lost yet, they shake their fingers at each other
If you have a good friend. clap their hands
Let's handle this together, hold hands
Let's breathe a sigh of relief, sigh
Raise your spirits raise your hands up
And shake off the dust. shake off the dust. Smiling at each other
6. Game “Make friends with a fairy-tale hero”
Psychologist: Guys, Mishka and I will take turns showing you pictures of characters from different fairy tales and cartoons. All of them have different characters and actions. If you would like to be friends with the hero I will show, raise your hand; if you would not like to, do not raise it. The psychologist shows pictures with characters one at a time (Cinderella, Thumbelina, Pinocchio, Baba Yaga, Leopold the cat, Koschey the Immortal, Gorynych the serpent, Luntik). After showing each picture, the psychologist asks the children why they would/would not want to be friends with the fairy-tale hero.
Psychologist: Guys, why didn’t you choose these heroes? (shows pictures of negative characters that the children did not choose) (children’s answers). Nobody wanted to be friends with evil, greedy, unfriendly fairy tale characters. In order for people to want to be friends with us, we need to have good qualities. Be kind, cheerful, honest, ready to help. But you can also make friends with negative characters, but you need to teach them to be kind, not to do bad things, and teach them the rules of friendship.
Psychologist: Well done guys, I learned that you are all kind, polite, beautiful, cheerful. This means that you know how to be friends, and there is a smile in your group.
7. Friends for Mishka
Psychologist: Now Mishka knows what friendship is and why friends are needed. But he has no one to play with or be friends with. Let's help our Bear and make him friends out of sand. But, since we are friendly, polite guys, we will do this in pairs! So let's gather in a circle, and each of you will pull out one image from the magic bag and find a pair (pairs: circle and triangle, hedgehog and fox, apple and pear, cat and dog, cucumber and tomato - according to characteristics) (children perform task - in pairs, bear cubs are sculpted in one tray with sand).
Psychologist: Look how great you did! The bear will play with new friends and make friends. And now, it's time for us to say goodbye. Thank you very much, guys, for helping Mishka learn what friendship is and teaching him to be friends. Did you like our lesson today? What did you like most? Goodbye, guys!
