Friendship is important—and life would be so dull without it!
Friendships are essential for social-emotional learning and mental health, but sometimes children struggle with making and keeping friendships. In
The Friendship Guide
, child psychologist Jillian Roberts outlines central ideas on how to be the best friend you can be. Alongside each of the principles is a scenario showing how it relates to real life—at the playground, at the park, at school or on a playdate. For parents, guardians and kids themselves, it can be difficult to recognize what makes friendships work. With this book, readers will have a comforting and straightforward resource to help guide them toward a lifetime of beautiful friendships.
