Friends and Peers

Friends and PeersFriendships are very important to children. They mean much more than just having fun, although that is the main reason children have friends. From a parent's perspective, the world of your child's friendships may feel like a foreign country, but this doesn't mean that you can't enjoy your child's friends, step in from time to time to help with a problem, or set limits about his behaviors in his peer group.
