Good Friends are Hard to FindHelp Your Child Find, Make and Keep Friends by Fred Frankel, Ph.D. If you feel bad when your child has no one to play with, outraged when other kids tease and pick on her, or helpless when school calls and tells you he has been fighting, this book can help. Step-by-step, parents can learn to help their 5 to 12-year-olds make friends and solve problems with other kids. This guide also offers concrete help for teasing, bullying, and meanness, both for the child who is picked on and for the tormentor. Based on the prestigious UCLA Children's Social Skills Program, this book teaches clinically tested techniques that really work. For parents of children ages 5-12. ISBN 978-0-9622036-7-1, Price $13.95 About the Author Fred Frankel, Ph.D., is a psychologist and leading expert on children's social skills. He is director of the world-renowned UCLA Parent Training & Children's Social Skills Programs. Dr. Frankel is Professor of Medical Pscychology at UCLA where he teaches and trains pediatricians, psychologists, social workers and child psychiatrists. He is also the author of Children's Friendship Training, a comprehensive manual to help therapists treat children with peer problems. What the Reviewers Say Good Friends are Hard to Find helped my very shy son develop a friend. I also learned how to work with his teacher to help him deal with a fourth grade bully. Every parent can learn something from this book. This is a useful and practical book both for professionals and the public. Dr. Frankel culls from his vast clinical experience to offer help in dealing with children's social difficulties. When parents complain that kids don't come with instruction manuals, they can reach for this. Many children, especially children with ADD/ADHD or Oppositional Defiant Disorder, have trouble making friends. Dr. Frankel has written a clear, crisp guidebook for parents and therapists. Using these exercises will help these children now, and help them become happier, more stable adults. This is a much needed resource, and I highly recommend it. This book is a must-read for today's parents. Now as never before we must be able to help our children make friends. I've referred lots of children to the UCLA program, and am so glad to finally have a book to use with my own family and in my practice.
