Published in 2005, this book is a resource designed for parents and teachers of children aged 4-15 to resolve problems such as a child being left out by other kids, following the crowd, or helping a child handle issues such as being too competitive or shy.

Based on a survey of 5000 teachers, its goal is to improve children’s social competence, and to equip adults with the ability to teach essential friendship-building skills that kids need to find, make, and keep friends, as well as survive social pressure from peers.
