If you are a kid, making friends is relatively easy.  It’s a matter of proximity, really.  Even before they could speak, they seem to organically find ways to interact.  While it isn’t always a success, it seems simplest for the under 5 set.  With that said, when you don’t have autonomy over your travel arrangements, keeping those new friends become rather difficult.

As parents, that’s where we come in.  Your kids are playing beautifully in the park/playground/playgroup/daycare/organized sport.  Can you roll this over into a friendship?
