The lesson “Being a Genuine and Honest Friend” teaches children more about healthy relationship development and both social and self-awareness in developing friendships. The children will learn about and discuss ways in which they are different from other peers and groups. Each child will then describe the benefits of choosing to be different from his or her peers when appropriate, and how that makes him or her a better and more genuine friend. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 9-11 years, and is the 23rd lesson in the 2nd year Core Curriculum Set and part of the “Social Relationships” unit.
