The Unwritten Rules of Friendship: Simple Strategies to Help Your Child Make Friends

Great book!
This is a wonderfully written book. Practical and sensible. I purchased this book for tips with my 7 year old, and I found I have learned many valuable things myself. I highly recommend this book not only for anyone who needs education in social skills but it would be a good read for most anyone. Even though this book is written at advanced reading level, my 7 yr old son follows right along while I am reading aloud to him and he doesn't get bored listening. He often spontaneously jumps in and offers ideas or thoughts of his own. The writer makes you look at and think about what you or others are doing that is or is not working in the social context and includes solutions and ideas. Wonderful book. I was very impressed. The Unwritten Rules of Friendship: Simple Strategies to Help Your Child Make Friends

Enormously Helpful!
Before, all I could do for my child was to nag and nag about her off-putting behavior. Then the book arrived...and with it clear labels and strategies. I was thrilled with how the writers were able to identify my child, the different drummer, and how they did so much more than just give advice. They identified behaviors I was only generally aware of. And they gave real hands on strategies that will clearly demonstrate to my child her responses in the give and take of relationships. Relationship card games and role playing, just two of the many strategies parents can use to help their child. Even adults will be able to identify their own shortcomings and use the "un-written rules" to improve their own relationships.

The Unwritten Rules of Friendship
Great book with really practical, usable advice. Wonderful those who struggle a little, or a lot with social cues.

The Unwritten Rules of Friendship
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").

A most amaxing book
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.

"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.
