One Love: Friendlets
Teaching Kids the Foundation of Healthy Friendships
Friendship skills are just as important as academic ones—especially in the formative elementary years. That’s why ECHO proudly offers One Love: Friendlets, a warm and engaging program designed to help children in grades 4–8 build a strong foundation for safe, supportive relationships.
Using short, animated stories that kids can relate to, Friendlets explores the 10 key signs of healthy and unhealthy friendships in a fun and age-appropriate way.
What Kids Learn
Friendlets helps kids understand that good friendships:
- Respect boundaries
- Include kindness and honesty
- Avoid manipulation or control
- Support individuality and communication
Through animations and interactive discussions, students explore how to:
- Set boundaries
- Recognize red flags in peer relationships
- Navigate conflict with confidence and compassion
- Speak up when something doesn’t feel right
Friendlets uses real-world situations that students face daily—making it both relevant and empowering.
Why It Matters
Learning to build healthy relationships early in life helps prevent unhealthy patterns from taking root. Friendlets doesn’t just teach friendship—it teaches self-respect, empathy, and communication.
