Synopsis coming soon.......

Description

From psychologist and children’s friendships expert Eileen Kennedy-Moore and parenting and health writer Christine McLaughlin comes a social development primer that gives kids the answers they need to make and keep friends.

Friendships aren’t always easy for kids. Almost every child struggles socially at some time, in some way. Having an argument with a friend, getting teased, or even trying to find a buddy in a new classroom…although these are typical problems, they can be tough. Children want to fit in, but sometimes getting along with friends is complicated.

Psychologist and children’s friendship expert Eileen Kennedy-Moore and parenting and health writer Christine McLaughlin give kids the answers they need to make and keep friends using five essential skills:

Reaching Out to Make Friends
Stepping Back to Keep Friends
Blending In to Join Friends
Speaking Up to Share With Friends
Letting Go to Accept Friends

With research-based, practical solutions and plenty of true-to-life examples of social skills in practice—presented in lighthearted, humorous cartoons—Growing Friendships is a toolkit for both boys and girls as they make sense of the social environment around them. They will learn how to be open to friendship, choose kind friends, and most importantly, be a good friend.
