How can parents support children through the highs and lows of friendship? Katie Thistleton and Guvna B explore when to offer guidance and when to stand back. Comedian and author of Lydia Marmalade and the Christmas Adventure, Cariad Lloyd shares how her two children approach friendships differently and reflects on feeling like an outsider. Educational and child psychologist Dr Sasha Hall explains how friendships develop and how parents can encourage the skills children need to build them. With advice on playing alone, handling disagreements, missing out on parties and helping children repair or step away from a friendship.
