As a parent, you can't make friends for your children, nor can you prevent them from ever feeling hurt or upset. But with the right guidance, you can support them in learning how to solve problems, cope with feelings, and build satisfying relationships. Raising Emotionally and Socially Healthy Kids gives you access to the same practical advice and actionable plans that Dr. Kennedy-Moore - an in-demand psychologist and author on the advisory board for Parents magazine - shares with clients. Drawing from the her extensive clinical and personal experience, these 12 lectures provide a deeper understanding of your child's development and ways to address common stumbling blocks with compassion. You'll focus on emotional intelligence and the pivotal role parents can play to help children cope with their feelings. You'll discover strategies for managing early-childhood meltdowns; simple techniques to inspire cooperation; constructive ways to deal with back-talk, aggression, and unkind behavior; methods to helping children cope with anxiety. You'll turn to social intelligence and the challenges children face in making friends, plus practical ways you can guide them through the process. You'll explore how you can support your child to get along with others; being a good sport; handling conflicts; dealing with bullying; and coping with gossip and cliques. You'll conclude with a candid discussion of friendship in the digital age, looking at video games and the troubling phenomena of cyberbullying and "Facebook depression".
