Product Description
"Nobody likes me!" is a complaint that parents hear all too often, and few utterances make them feel more helpless. Now help is at hand: This practical and compassionate guidebook enables parents to sharpen any child's social skills by pinpointing the child's particular social strengths and difficulties. Some children have trouble resolving arguments, some find themselves in a constant clash of wills, and some have trouble making any friends at all. Each chapter--from "The Shy Child" to "The Little Adult," from "The Short-Fused Child" to "The Sensitive Soul"--uses case studies that focus on the specific social conventions that certain children don't "get," and offers drills that parents and teachers can use to help children understand the unspoken underpinnings of social situations, the knowledge essential to building, sustaining, and repairing relationships.

The Unwritten Rules of Friendship May 31, 2008
This is a great book. I haven't finished it yet, but it has already given me many ideas. Unlike so many "self-help" books out there, this book actually gives you small, specific steps that you can take to change certain behaviors that others might find annoying (such as practical ways to teach someone about "personal space").
Excellent Book on Friendship May 27, 2008
This is an excellent tool to help children look at their social skills and resolve issues. Children who become bullies and victims often do have poor social skills and difficulty making friends. This does a great job of helping the reader pinpoint the problem and find solutions. Another fabulous book I just finished and recommend to all parents that deals with these important issues is Bully-Proofing Children: A Practical, Hands-On Guide to Stop Bullying. Step-by step strategies on teaching children about making and keeping friends, confict resolution, expressing feelings and standing up for themselves (assertiveness training)are invaluable.

Very well thought out, expertly written and easy to apply in a myriad of social situation that may have you and your child puzzled.
I found it to be very helpful and have been able to apply its lessons.
It could even help adults a little in hindsight and will certain benefit your child.

Finally a book with some answers. Up until now, they all seem to describe the problem, but offer little in the way of solutions. This one has really been helpful.
Great book to read with your kids! March 13, 2006

My 6 year old son and I read this book together. It was very helpful to him. The book is written in "kid friendly" stories. They are easy to understand and make it easy for the parents to explain.
