Friends are important to the children. Research shows that children who have no friends can suffer from difficulties later in life. Friendship provides children with more than just fun. In making friends, children learn how to get in touch with the others and solve problems. Having friends even does good to children’s study for they can help each other during the class.

If the parents care about their children whether they made many friends，what matters is that the child is comfortable and happy with his friends. Parents need to understand the steps children take in building friendships. First of all, be a friend to your child. Good friendships start at home. Children begin to develop the necessary ability to go out and meet others through getting with their parents. Greet the child warmly and let him know you are glad to see him. Children learn a lot from how their parents stay with them and other people.

Teach children how to solve conflicts(爭端). Being able to work out conflicts is an important skill in getting along with others. If parents know the children have a conflict, let them work it out on their own. Only step in if it is really necessary, for example, an argument is getting physical.

Give children chances to practice staying together. Have children play games that require team work and group problem solving skills. For example, races are fun and provide plenty of practice in teamwork. “In what ways didn’t you work well together? What might you do differently next time?” For these ideas, see books such as Games Book by Terry Orlick, Energizers by Carol Apacki, and Team-Building Activities for Every Group by Alanna Jones.

Encourage children to show thanks to the others. The parents can encourage children to do this by setting the example for them.

　　Mr and Mrs Wilson lived in a big crowded（擁擠的）city, and one summer they had holidays in a small town.

　　They enjoyed it very much, because it was a quiet（安靜的）, clean place and very different from the city.

　　One day they went for a walk early in the morning and met an old man. He lived on a farm and he was sitting alone in the warm sun outside his front door. Mr Wilson asked him, “Do you like living in such a quiet place?”The old man said, “Yes, I do.”Mr Wilson said, “What are the good things about it?”

　　The old man answered, “Well, everybody knows everybody else. People often come and visit me. and I often go and visit them. And there are also lots of children here.”

　　Mr Wilson said,“That’s interesting. And what are the bad things?”The old man thought for a minute and then said,“Well, the same things, really.”
