"To make and keep friends, children must be able to:

* Gracefully join into play
* Pay attention to non-verbal communication cues
* Identify common goals
* Listen to and respect feelings
* Empathize with another person's perspective
* Practice compassion
* Cooperate
* Accept others
* Include others
* Extend a trust-worthy, helping hand."
