Understanding Friendship
Know Your Child
Your child has a social temperament — how she plays, the number of friends he's comfortable with and more. Remember to respect this temperament and don't impose your own style or expectations on your child.
Know Yourself
Appreciate your child's own social style. Remember that your child's popularity is not a measure of your own.

Have realistic expectations for friendship and how much time kids can spend together.
Don't expect preschoolers to be able to get along for long periods of time — they need a break from each other and interaction
with you.
