What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms

Helping Kids Manage Their Friendships


Listen Later

What do we do as parents when our kids aren't great at making friends, or their friends are outgrowing them, or we feel that their friends are a bad influence?

Sometimes, we're not supposed to do anything at all. Sometimes our kids really need our support. How can we tell the difference?

In this episode, Amy and Margaret discuss:

  • what might contribute to trouble making friends
  • the skills kids can develop to become better friends
  • what to do when you don't like your kid's friends
