Friendship is complicated for kids. Almost every child struggles socially at some time, in some way.

And friendships are never about just one thing.
With research-based practical solutions and plenty of true-to-life examples—presented in more than 200 lighthearted cartoons—Growing Friendships is a toolkit for both girls and boys as they make sense of the social order around them.
Children everywhere want to fit in with a group, resist peer pressure, and be good sports—but even the most socially adept children struggle at times. But after reading this highly illustrated guide on their own or with a caring adult, kids everywhere will be well equipped to face any friendship challenges that come their way.

Growing Friendships A Kids' Guide to Making and Keeping Friends Dr Eileen KennedyMoore Christine McLaughlin 9781582705880 Books Reviews
- Love this book. Some social skills do not just come naturally to one of my kids, but he loves this book and reads it independently and takes in the concepts. I sometimes read a chapter with my younger ones at bedtime, and they relate to the concepts and think about the practical application of some of the suggestions. It's the sort of stuff that we tend to assume that all kids know or figure out quickly as they grow up, but for some, especially visual learners, it's very helpful to have the information specifically outlined. The cartoon cat/dog friendship interactions are funny and offer a lighthearted footnote to each chapter. This book should be available to all elementary school guidance counselors and read by teachers, coaches and playground monitors.
- This is a FABULOUS book that clearly explains simple strategies kids can use to both initiate friendships and be more aware of their "friendship busting" behaviors. With clever cartoons and simple text, Kennedy-Moore and McLaughlin break down simple social tips kids can use to both make and retain friends. The text portions are short enough to read quickly in one sitting. This book could be helpful for families wanting to focus on social skills at home - perhaps read aloud one tip and discuss at family dinner? After reading the book, I checked back on for the age rating. It says ages 6-9, but I think this book is useful for all ages - even adults! I'm going to incorporate the lessons and ideas at my summer camp to help kids understanding some of the nuances about making and keeping friends. Counselors could read-aloud a tip then share the cartoon with campers and discuss. Teachers, too, could utilize the book in the classroom to promote social skills. I'm, so glad I found this book and Kennedy-Moore's fabulous website. Highly recommend that parents get this book for any child struggling with friendships.
- I bought this for my daughter - we've had it only for one day and she has already dived into it and is enjoying the topics, advice, and especially the illustrations that help make the points. And the cat and dog are great comic relief! No matter how good a child is at making friends, this book is an excellent reference for lots of situations that can come up. We're having fun reading the book together - it's sparking great conversation!
- As a father of a twelve year old daughter and a pediatric dentist I found the content of this book as spot on for children in today's society. The lessons to be gained can be appreciated by a child in Kindergarten, a teenager in middle school as well as an adult! Parents struggle to help our children navigate issues of friendship. This concise and specific guide is invaluable in targeting issues our kids bring home after school. I felt it is great to pick up and concentrate on one section at a time. We keep the copy of the book in our daughter's bedroom so she can freely read about an issue she might have on her mind. Thoughtful and thorough, I highly recommend this book!
- We read this with our 7 year old. It breaks out the different social interaction scenarios nicely and provides concrete examples which are very instructive. There is also a cartoon mouse and cat that offer some comic relief. Our son really liked it.
- This is a wonderful, important book for independent reading for children ( about age 8 and above) and for parents to read with their school age children. The author approaches the subject of friendship with warmth, good humor and expertise and many of the important aspects of developing and sustaining friendships are reviewed in a meaningful, relevant manner.
- I'm a teacher who purchased this for my classroom. It's a practical guide with humor sprinkled throughout.
- I use this book to guide my combined first/second grade class through the ups and downs of friendship. This is the first book I have found that addresses friendship skills in a child friendly way and takes into consideration that you need to use different skills at different times. I love this book and when kids in my class are having an especially tricky time with friends, suggest that parents read it with their children.
