[00:00:00] [music playing]<\/em> Hello, and welcome to this short introduction to the Children\u2019s Friendships Matter podcast series, where Dr Caron Carter gives a brief overview of her project prefacing its origins and themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[00:00:27] <\/em>This introductory episode provides some background and context for this podcast series.  Over the last decade I\u2019ve been researching children\u2019s friendships in the 4-11 years primary age phase.  My passion and interest for this work started when I was a primary school teacher.  I was a teacher for 11 years before becoming an academic. I have always been fascinated by the benefits that friendship can bring to children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

[00:01:02]<\/em> Back in 2005, whilst I was a deputy head teacher, I decided to research further into this area. What made friendship easy for some children but then almost impossible for others?  What could the school and teachers do to support?   I started researching children\u2019s experiences of being playground friends.  This was an action research project which led to changes being made in my school to support children\u2019s friendships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[00:01:39]<\/em> I have published several journal articles, including a publication with Cathy Nutbrown and something I have coined \u2018The Pedagogy of Friendship\u2019.  This calls for greater attention to be paid to children\u2019s friendships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[00:02:00]<\/em> With the emergency of COVID 19, lockdowns and restrictions, children were without their friendships and everyday social interactions.  I was concerned about children\u2019s wellbeing and their holistic development and learning.  I was left wondering how children might be affected without their usual friendship interactions in school.  Therefore, I designed a project to explore how children maintain their friendships during this period with 7\u201311-year-olds.  Now children have returned to school research is emerging with suggestions for ways to support children during this period, post-COVID 19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

[00:02:50]<\/em> In this podcast series I talk to experts in the field about their research and its implications for both practice and research.  Similarly, I will be talking to teachers who are fully immersed in practice about their everyday experiences and the issues that they are facing post-COVID to support children\u2019s friendships.  If you are an academic this might influence your thinking or research directions, and if you are a teacher or practitioner working with children, these episodes might provide you with something to reflect on or take away to your classroom on your own work with children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
