The author presents a systematic plan for parents helping kids make and sustain friendships including • Making time for friends by not overscheduling • Developing interests that attract friends. Dancing and sports are in; solitary video games out. • Finding friends in the neighborhood. • The potential for a positive role with internet social networking as a way to meet and stay connected • Dealing with Teasing & Bullying • Learning social and emotional intelligence skills like listening, empathy, compassion, recreational conversation. • Modeling friendships in your own life, at work, in the neighborhood, and at home. • Helping kids deal with and survive stormy friendships. The author's philosophy is that parents can take on the important role as model, advocate, champion, and facilitator, in a highly effective and important way. Kids must have friends, it's essential, and we can help.
