THE BBC is seeking children for a new series about friendship.
The programme, titled Will You Be My Friend?, focuses on youngsters aged five to eight who might find making friends challenging because of shyness or feeling overwhelmed.
The series aims to help them build confidence through play, under the guidance of child psychologists.
Filming is scheduled for the summer holidays.
The casting team is also looking for sociable children from the North East who enjoy meeting new people.
Particularly, they are interested in children who love nature, animals, and creative activities, and who may be open to taking part in a filmed playdate with one of the children featured in the series.
Parents or guardians who wish to apply can do so at makingfriends.tv.
This initiative also aims to raise awareness about friendship difficulties among young children, a common but often quietly experienced issue for many families.
