The Friendship Factor

Helping Our Children Navigate Their Social World and Why It Matter for Their Success and Happiness

Based on twenty-five years of research on friendship, Dr. Kenneth H. Rubin reveals the importance of healthy social development to a child’s emotional and intellectual growth. In The Friendship Factor he uses vivid case studies to highlight normal social development, potential problems, and real distress, exploring: how to distinguish between a well-adjusted solitary child and a lonely child, how to distinguish between popularity-as-likability and popularity-as-dominance, how to honor your child’s social style, which may differ from your own, how to help an easily angered child be less aggressive, how to increase a child’s social ability with specific skills and strategies, and how to know when and when not intervene in your child’s social life.
