Book Description
Based on twenty-five years of research on friendship, Dr. Kenneth H. Rubin reveals the importance of children's social development to their emotional and intellectual growth-and future success. In The Friendship Factor he uses vivid case studies to differentiate normal development from potential problems and real distress, exploring how to:
€ Distinguish between a solitary child and a lonely child
€ Encourage the development of "popularity-as-likability," not "dominance"
€ Help an easily angered child be less aggressive
€ Increase a child's social ability with specific skills and strategies
