Buddy Builders Social skills group (ages 8-12)
What is Buddy Builders?
Buddy Builders is a social group designed for children and pre-teens (ages 8-12) who are ready to take their friendship skills to the next level. Through engaging activities like team challenges, structured games, creative projects, and guided discussions, participants practice cooperation, problem-solving, and communication in a fun, supportive setting.
With the help of therapists and facilitators, group members learn how to work as a team, navigate differences, and build stronger peer connections. The group encourages kids to take social risks, build self-confidence, and discover what it means to be a good friend.
Perfect for children who:
- Are developing peer relationships but need extra support with flexibility, perspective-taking, or social problem-solving.
- Benefit from structured opportunities to practice teamwork and conflict resolution.
- Need support in balancing independence with group participation.
- Thrive in small groups where guidance and encouragement help them grow.
Buddy Builders helps kids strengthen their social foundation so they can feel more confident and successful in school, activities, and friendships
