Friendships aren't always easy for children. Nearly every child faces social challenges at some point. Typical issues like a fight with a friend, teasing, or finding companionship in a new class can be difficult. Children want to belong, but sometimes navigating friendships is complicated.

Eileen Kennedy-Moore and Christine McLaughlin provide children with the necessary answers to make and maintain friendships, using five key skills:

• Reaching Out to Make Friends
• Stepping Back to Keep Friends
• Blending In to Join Friends
• Sitting Down to Share with Friends
• Speaking Up to Accept Friends

Based on research-backed solutions and a wealth of real-life examples, the book Growing Friendships offers a tool for both boys and girls as they navigate their social environment. They will learn how to be open to friendship, choose good friends, and most importantly, be a good friend.
