How Parents Should Handle Childhood Friendship Drama

How To Keep Up With Your Child’s Friendships

• Always give your child a chance to tell you about their day and what things they experienced.
• Take every opportunity to talk about good friendships, and what your child should look for in a true friend.
• Don’t ever force your child to stay in a friendship that clearly isn’t working out, but don’t make him change friends if things can be worked out through good communication.
• Invite your child to have friends over often, and take the opportunity to be present. Know your child’s friends!
