Friendship - My Family Coach

Friendships

Help your child build strong, positive friendships.

Children’s friendships are difficult. You can expect them to fall out then make up with their friends overnight. It’s hard to know how you can best support them through the highs and lows of friendship.

- What can I do if they don’t have any friends?
- How involved should I be in their friendships?
- What can I do about peer pressure?

Our Friendships Collection gives you the expert advice you need to support your child through every friendship problem – and we’re adding more resources all the time.
