Where can young children make new friends?

Well, I'd say schools are probably the most natural place for children to make friends. That's because they spend so much time together in class and during activities, which gives them shared experiences to bond over. For example, when I was in primary school in Hangzhou, my closest friendships formed through simple things like group projects or playing games during breaks. That said, extracurricular activities like sports clubs or art classes can also be great - they bring together kids with similar interests outside the classroom setting. The key is having regular, relaxed interactions where friendships can develop naturally.
