"I feel like the other kids do not want to play with me." "My friends and I keep having problems. Can you help us work it out?" "I have been feeling really sad for the past 2 weeks." "My dog died last night and I'm very sad. Can I talk to you?" |

"My husband and I have been divorced for two years, but we think our kids could really benefit from talking about it with other kids who are going through the same thing." |
