However, the reality is often quite different. Many children genuinely want to participate in activities with their peers, be accepted as part of a group, and develop meaningful friendships.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #5c5a5a;\">What they often lack is not the desire to connect, but the foundational skills that make social interactions natural and successful. From paying attention to others, waiting for their turn, and initiating conversations, to understanding the emotions and responses of peers, these are all essential skills in the development of social competence and community inclusion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #5c5a5a;\">Through SEEC Online Seminar #03: Friendship and Social Skills Developemnt for Children, parents will gain a deeper understanding of how friendships develop, the common social barriers faced by children with special rights, and practical ways to support their children in building positive and lasting relationships step by step.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #5c5a5a;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #1c68a6;\">What Will Parents Gain from This Seminar?<\/span><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3206\" src=\"https:\/\/specialems.edu.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1358-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"998\" height=\"665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/specialems.edu.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1358-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/specialems.edu.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1358-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/specialems.edu.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1358-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/specialems.edu.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1358-272x182.jpg 272w, https:\/\/specialems.edu.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1358.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 998px) 100vw, 998px\" \/><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #5c5a5a;\">Participants will be equipped with practical knowledge and evidence-based strategies to help children develop friendship skills and improve social inclusion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #5c5a5a;\">Specifically, parents will:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #5c5a5a;\">Understand how friendships develop in children and the key milestones in building social relationships.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #5c5a5a;\">Identify the foundational skills children need before they can establish and maintain friendships.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #5c5a5a;\">Gain insight into the common social barriers experienced by children with special rights when interacting with peers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #5c5a5a;\">Learn practical strategies and activities that can be implemented at home to support social development.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #5c5a5a;\">Discover effective ways to accompany and support their children throughout their journey of connection, inclusion, and relationship-building.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #5c5a5a;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><span style=\"color: #1c68a6;\">Main Seminar Content<\/span><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3204\" src=\"https:\/\/specialems.edu.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/787-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"995\" height=\"663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/specialems.edu.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/787-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/specialems.edu.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/787-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/specialems.edu.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/787-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/specialems.edu.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/787-272x182.jpg 272w, https:\/\/specialems.edu.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/787.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 995px) 100vw, 995px\" \/><\/span><\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #5c5a5a;\"><strong>Part 1: Why Do Many Children Struggle with Making Friends?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #5c5a5a;\">Many parents see the outcome\u2014&#8221;my child has no friends&#8221;\u2014but the underlying causes often stem from foundational social skills that have not yet been fully developed.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #5c5a5a;\">In this session, our specialist will help parents understand the common social barriers experienced by children with special rights, as well as some of the most common misconceptions about friendship and social inclusion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #5c5a5a;\"><strong>Part 2: Stages of Friendship Development in Children<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #5c5a5a;\">Friendship is not a skill that appears overnight.
