Title: Growing Friendship A Kids Guide to Making and Keeping Friends
Author: Eileen Kennedy-Moore and Christine McLaughlin
Stars: 5 out of 5 (8 year old Review)
Review:
This review is written by my 8 year old daughter. The book arrived in the mail as I opened the package my daughter grabbed it out of my hands. It took me a week to find it. Its was in my daughters bedroom and she was reading it. I ask what do you think?
She said "I don't have trouble making friends or keeping them. Yet I should read this just incase."
Like: Mom this book has a great story using Cartoons. Who knew I could learn so much about friendships. I hated it when a friend would one day say you are not my friend anymore and than the next week we are finds again. This book is teaching me how to deal with that instead of getting hurt and crying."
.
Dislike: Well sometimes I wasn't sure what they were talking about because the words didn't make since. Than again I didn't know the word anyway but the cartoon totally helped. I mean seriously mom when do I have have trouble figuring out a word. I read 7th grade site words.
That is my daughter.
I plan to read the book as soon as I can get it out of my old child's hand.
Thank you to the publishers for sending me this wonderful books my kids could enjoy and learn from
Synopsis:
From psychologist and children’s friendships expert Eileen Kennedy-Moore and parenting and health writer Christine McLaughlin comes a social development guide that gives kids the answers they need to make and keep friends.
Friendship is complicated for kids. Almost every child struggles socially at some time, in some way. Having an argument with a friend, getting teased, or even trying to find a buddy in a new classroom…although these are typical problems, they can be very painful.
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 world 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.
