Summary

The author presents a systematic plan for parents helping kids make  and sustain friendships including:   *Making time for friends by not overscheduling   *Developing interests that attract friends. Dancing and sports  are in; solitary video games out.  *Finding friends in the neighborhood.  * The potential for a positive role with internet social  networking as a way to meet and stay connected -- including instant  messsaging, web sites, blogs, MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter.  Addiction can become a problem but the correct and supervised use  of internet and social networking is now an essential part of kids'  friendship.  * Dealing with Teasing & Bullying  * Learning social and emotional intelligence skills like  listening, empathy, compassion, recreational conversation.  * Modeling friendships in your own life, at work, in the  neighborhood, and at home.  * Helping kids deal with and survive stormy friendships.  The author's philosophy is that parents can take on the  important role as model, advocate, champion, and facilitator, in a  highly effective and important way. Kids must have friends, it's  essential, and we can help.
