Supporting your child's friendships


We all hope that our children will have a rewarding and comfortable group of friends.  I am often asked how parents can support their children through the social ups and downs of school. One excellent way
is to read plenty of books about friendship -- see my booklist on another page of this website.  Also, there are some excellent resources below that list some strategies you can use to help foster your child’s friendships:
