Playing with a variety of friends is an important social skill. Social Stories are a great way to teach children important social skills that they may be struggling with.
Social stories break down information into small, explicit steps so that children can more easily undertand what they should and should not do in a particular social situation.
I had a student who thought he could only play with his one, favorite friend. He did not seem to understand that playing with other children, did not mean he wasn't still friends with his favorite friend.
Additionally, his favorite friend sometimes felt a bit smothered by my student's attention. I wrote this story to help my student understand that it is okay to play with more than one friend.
