    Learning to Be a Good Friend - R. W. Alley

    A Message to Parents, Teachers,

    and Other Caring Adults

    All kids need friends. To have friends, a child needs to learn to be a good friend. Yet children aren’t born with finely tuned social skills. They need to learn how to make friends, choose friends wisely, and keep good friends.

    The single most important factor in the development of friendship skills is the way children are treated at home and school. Attitudes of acceptance versus criticism in these environments get played out in the child’s social world. For example, constantly demanding things of a child instead of negotiating decisions can teach that child to be bossy and demanding with peers.
