An invaluable guide for all parents wanting to understand the ups and downs of their child's friendships. Friends are desperately important to most children. However what children want, or get, from their friends and how important friendships are to them changes throughout childhood. This book focuses on boys'and girls' typical experiences of friendship, and explains the changes that take place. It also looks at how a parent's role needs to change from directing and fixing friendships at the beginning to keeping in the background by the time they're in secondary school. With plenty of true stories from both children and parents, this book gives a real understanding of children's friendships in a very readable and accessible way, and offers advice on how to deal with problems encountered.

Friendship is enormously important to all of us but children's friendships can be very up and down affairs. This book is designed to help parents of children up to 12 years old and starts with an interesting analysis of how friendships change up to that age, so helping parents know what to expect. It helps parents have an insight into how children think about friends, which can be a great help in knowing how to handle problems and uncertainties. The differences between girls' and boys' friendships are explored andagain this is a useful insight and helps us understand the differences between our children. Parents have so many worries about their children's friendship, that they will find this a reassuring read with sensible advice about when to intervene and when to stand back.
