“The Best of Friends ™”workshop is an innovative social skills and self-esteem program for children aged 3 to 13 delivered in a specialised clinical setting in Melbourne.
This activity-based workshop encourages Melbourne children to make to most of their friendships by developing good communication skills while recognizing the difference between friends and ‘frenemies’. Toddlers learn about ‘first friends’ and conversation starters as they progress from pre-school and beyond.
This program has been developed in the clinical setting over a 15 year period by child psychologist Kimberley O’Brien. It is highly acclaimed by parents, teachers, health and educational professionals as a mean of solving and improving social skills.
The final program also incorporates research through Monash University relating to the transition from primary to secondary school. “The Best of Friends ™” workshop is supported by extensive pre-school and school observations, parents and school counsellor feedback and field research in more than 52 different schools around the world as part of the “School Days” Project.
