The Boy In The Striped Pajamas by John Boyne Goodreads- The Boy In The Striped Pajamas by John Boyne friendship book From their early days in nursery, through play, children are learning essential social skills and learning about themselves too. Experimenting with friendships is a very normal phase and to be encouraged, and as social skills are refined and they mature, children change their minds about who they want to be friends with and the qualities and commonalities they are seeking in a friend. Even if you only have one good friend, it helps us to stay mentally and physically strong.Having a good friend allows us to deal with stress easier, make better choices in our lives and generally helps us to be happier.

When I first meet someone new for treatment, I start by saying that discomfort and anxiety are just feelings, like any other feelings. Anxiety, in and of itself, is not “bad”—it can even be very important when it works properly. It can teach us what might not be safe. If I am crossing a busy intersection, I need something that lets me know when I have to act. Discomfort helps us to learn, to decipher what we value, what we want, and what we would like to avoid.
