孩子转入新学校是一个重要转折点，建立友谊对其身心发展至关重要。1根据疾病控制与预防中心的数据，如果学生感到学校的工作人员和同龄人关心他们，他们不太可能出现心理健康问题、使用物质或参与暴力。1
为帮助孩子顺利融入新环境，家长可采取多项措施。1持证婚姻家庭治疗师、National University学术事务副院长Dr. Asha Barber Sutton和Sandy Hook Promise联合创始人兼首席执行官Nicole Hockley建议，家长应安排玩耍聚会、鼓励孩子参加课外活动，并让他们自主处理友谊问题，同时减少手机使用时间。1课外活动特别有效——加州圣母高中的16岁学生Shia Watts通过参加戏剧制作认识了朋友，而新泽西州Uncommon Camden Prep High School的16岁高年级学生Jamir Gonzalez则通过加入篮球队和辩论队拓展了社交圈。1即使学生只建立了一段友谊，也能对其心理健康和学业成绩产生重要的积极影响。1
Starting at a new school presents both challenges and opportunities for children to develop social connections. According to guidance from health experts, having even a single meaningful friendship can significantly benefit students' mental health and academic performance.1 Research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates that students who perceive care and support from school staff and peers are substantially less likely to experience mental health problems, substance use, or violent behavior.1
Dr. Asha Barber Sutton, a licensed marriage and family therapist and Vice President of Academic Affairs at National University, emphasizes practical strategies parents can employ to facilitate their children's friendships.1 These approaches include organizing playdates, encouraging participation in extracurricular activities, allowing children autonomy in managing their own relationships, and reducing screen time.1 Real students have found success through such engagement: Shia Watts, a 16-year-old from Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, California, developed friendships through involvement in theatrical productions.1 Similarly, Jamir Gonzalez, a 16-year-old senior at Uncommon Camden Prep High School in New Jersey, built connections by joining both the basketball team and debate club.1 Nicole Hockley, co-founder and CEO of Sandy Hook Promise, supports evidence-based approaches to fostering supportive school environments where friendships can flourish.1
