💚 All we need is a bench

Authentic, deep connection between people is real magic — though not always easy to spark.

A few elementary schools found a quietly brilliant solution: they built something called a buddy bench.

Whenever a child felt lonely, they’d sit on it — a gentle, wordless signal that said, “I could use a friend.” And sure enough, another child would notice, walk over, and say, “Wanna play?”

A simple bench turned into a bridge for belonging.
