Advice History
Making Friends
The American Academy of Pediatrics says that school-age children have about five close friends. Girls tend to have closer more intimate relationships while boys maintain a larger circle of friends. Kids like to choose friends that are similar to them in temperament. You might notice how your child's friend has so much in common with your son or daughter. As your kids grow their friendships will grow and evolve and they might have the same best friend forever or a new best friend every week. Either way, help your child foster their friendships by being supportive of them and getting to know their friends. Your interest in their friendships will give them the confidence to make more friends.
