The Friendship Guide [Hardcover]

This is a great book that teachers young children how to make friends.

Friendships are essential for social-emotional learning and mental health, but sometimes children struggle with making and keeping friendships.

InThe 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.
