Perhaps one of the concerns we have as parents when our children are in school is how they develop socially and the relationships they establish with their peers, because as we know the bonds of companionship and friendship play an important role in life. Some friends may appear in childhood and last a lifetime to the point of being considered part of the family and sharing special moments.

Now, as we know, not all children can make friends so easily, and they do not necessarily have to belong to their study group since they can relate with other children for example at recess, in activities outside of class, and thus share games, their tastes, talk about various topics, the important thing is that they relate since there are several hours spent at school and this will allow them to feel better, encouraged, motivated, live new experiences and avoid isolation.

On the other hand, as parents we must be attentive to the friendships that surround them, as these can bring many benefits or otherwise be negative friendships that can lead to changes in their habits, behavior and others and that is where it is necessary to talk about the meaning of a true friendship, the choices to be made in life and who make up the group of friends.

As parents it is important to maintain an interest in getting to know the children's friends in their different stages, share with them as well as get to know their parents and in this way establish common points with the family and their values, talk to them about how they feel in the group of friends or if they feel pressured to belong there, which can lead them to change in some aspects, allow them to share, spend time with their friends so that they can develop their social skills.

On the other hand, it is very important to teach them to make decisions, not to get carried away by the group and go against their principles, since there may be many situations where they have to face new things so they must maintain their self-esteem and personality.

Another aspect to highlight is the influence of friendships on school performance, since they can determine in some way the results obtained, so parents and teachers must have the right tools to handle the situation.
