Friendships can be wonderful-but they can also be confusing, frustrating, and sometimes downright tricky.
What should you do when a friend ignores you, leaves you out, tells your secret, makes fun of you, pressures you to do something wrong, or suddenly says, You're not my friend anymore?
When Friendship Gets Tricky gives kids simple, practical ways to handle the everyday friendship problems they may face at school, at home, online, and with their friends.
Inside, children will discover 50 real-life friendship situations and learn how to:
- Make new friends and join groups respectfully
- Handle feeling left out or ignored
- Speak up when something hurts their feelings
- Set healthy boundaries and confidently say no
- Deal with teasing, rumors, secrets, and misunderstandings
- Handle jealousy and changing friendships
- Apologize, forgive, and repair hurt feelings
- Resolve disagreements without fighting or shouting
- Handle peer pressure and make their own choices
- Know when a problem is too serious to handle alone
- Ask a trusted adult for help when needed
- Use the STOP → THINK → CHOOSE → SAY → DO method to make better decisions
Each situation is explained in simple, child-friendly language with practical conversation skills and thoughtful guidance that children can understand and use in real life.
This book isn't about having perfect friendships. It's about helping children develop the confidence to communicate, the kindness to treat others well, the courage to set boundaries, and the wisdom to recognize when they need help.
Real Problems. Simple Solutions. Stronger Friendships.Whether a child is making friends, dealing with conflict, feeling excluded, or learning how to become a better friend, When Friendship Gets Tricky provides practical tools they can carry with them wherever friendships take them.
Be kind. Be confident. Set boundaries. Ask for help. Choose wisely.
