Some people see a closed door and turn away.

Others see a closed door, try the knob,

If it doesn’t open, they turn away.

Still others see a closed door, try the knob,

If it doesn’t open, they find a key,

If the key doesn’t fit, they turn away.

Support and strengthen peer relationships

Relationships foster a sense belonging, which is an important basis for learning. Create an inclusive environment where students can work together and support and encourage each other to learn.

Most people would agree that few things impacted their school lives as much as their relationships with their peers—friends, acquaintances, or otherwise. Peer relationships play an important role in children’s school lives, and relationships with peers become even more influential as children enter adolescence.

Research on positive peer relationships often distinguishes between friendship and peer acceptance. High-quality friendships involve not only companionship, but also caring, validation, and support. In addition to playing together, good friends feel comfortable opening up to each other and are motivated to resolve conflicts that arise.

Peer acceptance, sometimes referred to by researchers as popularity, focuses on how much students like or like to play with their classmates, and has been found to affect students’ sense of belonging in school and their academic achievement.

Research shows that positive peer relationships benefit students in a myriad of ways, at school and in life.

Both quantity and quality of relationships matter for kids.

Studies have found that young children with higher numbers of friends are less likely to be lonely, and more likely to like and be engaged at school.
In middle childhood, peer acceptance, friendship, and friendship quality all matter in terms of reducing a child’s chance of loneliness.
Positive peer relationships help make children more resilient, even when they face difficulties at home.

Having one good friend can be enough.

Having just one close friend can be enough to protect kids from the negative effects of being treated badly by other peers.
Similarly, research shows that adolescents with at least one reciprocal friendship have higher self-esteem than those without one; on the other hand, having greater numbers of friendships doesn’t seem to further increase self-esteem.
