Your preschooler sees kids playing at the park and wants to join, but they either hover at the edge looking lost or barrel right in and accidentally ruin the game. Here's what most parents don't realize: "joining in" isn't something children automatically know how to do. Discover how PEERS® for Preschoolers teaches you to coach friendship skills in real-world moments that actually matter.

It happens in slow motion—you see your child standing alone while other kids walk away, or they announce, "No one wants to play with me." Every protective instinct fires, and you want to fix their social world immediately. But those painful moments aren't problems to be solved—they're how children learn to navigate relationships and build the resilience at the heart of healthy child social development.

Every August, parents wonder if their child is truly ready for school. While it's natural to focus on academic skills like letters and numbers, true kindergarten readiness has far more to do with emotional resilience than perfect penmanship. The children who thrive aren't those with the tidiest handwriting, but those who can bounce back from disappointment and adapt to new situations.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is the gold standard for treating childhood anxiety, helping kids identify triggers, challenge negative thoughts, and develop coping strategies. Learn how CBT empowers children and teens to manage their anxiety, improve their quality of life, and build lifelong emotional resilience.
