Childhood friendships that endure

Saturday, 23 October 2010 18:31 Written by LaQuesha Agnew

My long time friend came to visit this weekend. She and I have been friends since the 70's dating back to kindergarten. There's a few of us in this tight knit circle who have grown up together and we have all remained friends even though our lives have taken us in so many different directions. But no matter how much time lapses between times we talk and see each other, we're the type of friends that can get together and pick up like we didn't skip a beat. Maybe I'm partial but I think friendships like ours are rare these days.

I hope that my children can develop friendships like these. But in this day and age, children don't connect the way my generation used to. It's so hard for them to maintain friendships it seems because everything is so managed now..........we're in an era where play dates have to be arranged. What happened to the times when children could just be friends without extra activities and special dates?? My daughter has a friendship that I'm watching very closely. They've been friends for a year now. My son is autistic and has not developed any meaningful friendships yet. Because of the difficuties autistic children have socially, I'm just waiting to see when he will have a break through with peer relationships. Hopefully the both of them will find at least one life long buddy and a childhood friendship that endures.
