Psychologists provide parents and teachers with strategies to help children cultivate successful relationships. Many parents worry about their children's social integration and friendships, as some kids easily connect with others while others struggle significantly. In this guide, clinical psychologists Stephen Nowicki, Marshall Duke, and Amy Van Buren share insights from years of experience on relationship building from infancy to age twelve. Written in accessible language, the book begins with foundational concepts in social development, human relationship theory, and the importance of nonverbal communication. It is organized into sections covering different developmental stages: infancy (birth to two years), early childhood (two to five years), and later childhood (five to ten years). Each section addresses the expectations, opportunities, and challenges of forming and maintaining relationships at each stage. To enhance understanding, the authors include illustrative scenarios and practical exercises called “parent skill builders.” This guide equips parents with techniques for assessing their child's relational strengths and weaknesses, helping them instill healthy relationship-building skills and boost their children's confidence as they grow.
