Abstract
Most of us intrinsically understand the importance of friendship in our lives, and although we may not spend time considering it, we are aware it is beneficial to our happiness and well-being. As educators, we are often conscious of the friendships that exist in our classrooms, and are particularly mindful of those students who have difficulties making friends. This literature review examines the reasons why friendship is so important to us, and in particular, to the well-being of our children. Furthermore, it highlights ways that we can meet our responsibilities as educators to support New Zealand students in developing and maintaining friendships.
