Friendship during the tween and teen years can be both exciting and challenging. As kids grow, they start learning how to balance their own needs with the needs of others, navigate conflict, and figure out what makes a “true friend.” These lessons aren’t always easy, and that’s where intentional tools can make a big difference.
At Cognificent Kids Network, we know that healthy social connections are essential for building self-esteem, emotional resilience, and confidence. That’s why we created our Friendship & Social Skills Worksheet, a therapist-designed digital resource that helps tweens and teens explore what it means to be a good friend while practicing real-world skills like communication, empathy, and boundary setting.
Why Friendship Skills Matter
Friendships during adolescence can influence everything from school success to mental health. Kids who learn how to choose supportive peers and manage conflicts in a healthy way are more likely to thrive both socially and emotionally. On the other hand, struggling with unhealthy friendships or peer pressure can lead to stress, anxiety, or isolation.
Giving kids structured opportunities to reflect on these experiences helps them grow. With the right support, they can feel empowered to build positive relationships and confidently navigate social situations.
What’s Inside the Worksheet
This digital worksheet is packed with age-appropriate, interactive activities that encourage reflection and conversation. Kids will:
-
Identify the qualities of healthy vs. unhealthy friendships
-
Explore real-life scenarios they may face with peers
-
Practice communication and problem-solving strategies
-
Build confidence in choosing safe, supportive connections
It’s designed for tweens and teens (ages 11–16) and can be used at home, in the classroom, or during counseling sessions.
