Making Sense of Your Child's Friendships by Elizabeth Hartley-Brewer

Making Sense of Your Child's Friendships by Elizabeth Hartley-Brewer

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.

Elizabeth Hartley-Brewer is the author of two parenting skills programmes and four bestselling practical books on parenting; all of which are published in the USA. She is a freelance journalist and writer in the UK, writing for leading national newspapers such as the London Times (Parents page), The Independent (education features), the Observer (comment and focus pieces on social policy) and the Daily Telegraph (education). She has also contributed seminar papers on various aspects of children's mental health and learning to London University's Institute of Education and the Institute for Public Policy Research, a leading UK think tank.
