The Not-So-Friendly Friend: How to Set Boundaries for Healthy Friendships by Furnival, Christina
How can I help my child deal with a bully? What do I teach them about handling an on-again-off-again, not-so-friendly friend? My advice to "just be kind" isn't helping, and my child is still hurting. Christina Furnival, a licensed mental health therapist and mom, helps answer these questions in this charming and engaging rhyming story about a young child who successfully navigates the complexities of an unkind peer relationship. In The Not-So-Friendly Friend, children will learn an easy and practical lesson about how to firmly and assertively - yet kindly - stand up for themselves in the face of a bully. By teaching children about the importance and value of setting boundaries for healthy friendships, this book provides children the tools they need to foster their social confidence and emotional well-being.Author: Christina FurnivalPublisher: PESI Publishing, Inc.Published: 09/14/2021Pages: 46Binding Type: HardcoverWeight: 0.76lbsSize: 8.65h x 8.89w x 0.39dISBN: 9781683734260Audience: Ages 9-12
