Be Your Own BFF: Navigating Friendship Challenges

Saturday, May 9 from 10 am - 12 pm

This is a drop-off workshop just for kids.

Shifting friendship dynamics are a normal part of growing up—especially during puberty. As the brain remodels, changing interests, identity exploration, and mood swings can all impact friendships. Yet most school-based puberty education doesn’t cover the essential social-emotional tools kids need to navigate these changes with confidence.

In this empowering workshop, Konika will guide students through a mini lesson on how to recognize the signs of healthy vs. unhealthy friendships, set firm boundaries, and stay grounded in their self-worth. Through discussion and reflection, students will build the confidence to handle friendship challenges with clarity and compassion.

Participants will also have the opportunity to submit anonymous questions about tricky friendship situations in our “curiosity box” and receive supportive, peer-to-peer ideas for navigating them.

We’ll wrap up the session with our interactive Mood Science Lab, where students will explore a color-changing experiment that reveals how quickly things can shift—just like emotions and friendships. As the colors transform, we’ll connect the science to real-life experiences, reinforcing that changing feelings are normal and learning how to understand them can help us respond with confidence and self-awareness.
