thanks, kat.
actually, nothing has been done yet. i have a friend with three children, and i had suggested they could place pictures with friends, or representation of their secret friends/allies in the west, if it doesn't work for them to place pictures in their personal relationship direction or any of the general directions in relation to friendship. i've never seen their home, and so i can't suggest specifics. however, after sending these recommendations, it occurred to me to double-check if the west would, indeed, support peer friendships of children.

thanks for your thorough response. i'll let my friend know.
