The sixth guide in the Growing Up series for parents of children aged 5-8. Friendship is the dominant preoccupation of this age group -- and the training ground for every relationship they'll ever have. This guide covers the difference between conflict and bullying (and why it matters), six friendship skills that are teachable at this age, what to do when your child is the one being unkind, and word-for-word scripts for the five hardest friendship moments parents face. Because kindness is a skill, not just a value. And it can be taught.
