Product Information

It’s wonderful to see their social skills (and social lives) bloom, to see them play and laugh, and to know they are learning to support—and be supported by—their pals.

Stansbury (a Presbyterian Minister), Isaac Doolittle and William Armand Barnet were the lithographers, and William Gilley was the publisher. The lamb, which was dying only through hunger, felt itself a little strengthened by this nourishment.That's why our playground is more than just swings and slides - it’s a magical space where our kiddos climb towards the sky, imagine they’re superheroes, discover the joy of active play… and have DANCE PARTIES like the one below. Some have even argued that without the opportunities friendships afford for collaboration and intimacy children would fail to develop the social skills necessary for later successful adult relationships. From our Therapeutic Garden in Salem to our "SEED" Programming that encompasses "Specialized Ecotherapies for Emotional Development" our belief is that nature is a healer and an ongoing resource for our youth and families if we can help them to discover it. It’s extremely common to get that knot in your stomach or furrow in your brow around one of your child’s pals. Our teams include many expressive therapists, horticultural therapists, and individuals who strive to bring mindfulness, nature, and creativity into the work we do.

We offer evidence-based treatment such as the Positive Parenting Program Triple P, Attachment, Self-Regulation and Competency (ARC), and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT).

Yet at all stages of life and across both boys and girls, friendships provide not only companionship and shared intimacy but, crucially, a window into the thoughts, feelings and desires of another. We provide Coordinated Specialty Care for people experiencing symptoms such as: marked change in thoughts or new decline in social functioning, feelings of unease or paranoia, or sometimes auditory or visual hallucinations. In its early years, it "inculcate[d] good behaviour by dire warnings of eternal damnation for children struck down by God, without time for repentance, as punishment for their sins. Luckily we had thought ahead and created unique and understandable codes that could be used for each image.

Although sibling relationships and friendships are both close relationships with similar-aged children, there are inherent differences. I, who so oft in summer's heat, Beneath yon oak have laid me down, To listen to their songs so sweet ? If from my tender mother's side, Some wicked wretch should make me fly Full well I know 'twould her betide, To break her heart, to sink, to die.What makes The Children’s Friend important is that it contains the first known visual representation of Santa Claus, his sleigh and reindeer.
