The Unwritten Rules of Friendship: Simple Strategies to Help Your Child Make Friendsby Natalie Madorsky Elman
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:A practical and compassionate handbook to help parents sharpen any child's social skills by identifying the "unwritten rules" that govern all relationships "Nobody likes me!" is a complaint that parents of young school age children hear all the time. Nothing makes them feel more helpless. Some children have trouble resolving an argument with a friend, some find themselves in a constant clash of wills, and some have trouble making any friends at all. The Unwritten Rules of Friendship gives parents the tools to nurture any child's social well-being. Drawn from a popular and successful parenting program, it helps parents pinpoint their child's particular social strengths and difficulties, enabling them "to unveil the rules underlying social situations that everyone else seems to know." Chapters range from "The Shy Child" to "The Little Adult" and "The Short Fused Child," to "The Sensitive Soul." Each chapter uses case studies to portray the social understandings different children don't "get" and provides drills that parents and teachers can work with to help children understand the unwritten rules of social situations so that they can modify their behavior accordingly. Only by understanding these rules can a child learn the necessary skills for building, sustaining, and repairing relationships. Written in a compassionate and practical manner, Elman and Kennedy offer a wealth of common sense and wisdom, drawing on decades of clinical experience and the latest research findings. The Unwritten Rules of Friendship is a must for parents who see their elementary school child feeling isolated, rejected, or generally out-of-sync with their peers, and who wish there were something they could do to help.
