Summary: Excellent - For Parents of Kids Having A Hard Time
Comment: This is a good base for parents whose kids are having a hard time in school. I found it to be very Cause & Effect which was just what my son (and I) needed. I read it three or four years ago when my son was having a dreadfully hard time. I put the concepts from the book to practice in my own way (i.e., "movie dates" with him where we watched movies and discussed emotions and 'reading' people's body language). No my son is 12 and in 7th grade and he has friends, not tons, but a few, but he is happy and content. Kids like him, he doesn't feel desperate to fit in.
This book is very practical and well worth the time to read and money spent to have it be part of your library... along with Brazelton and Sears.

Summary: Not really a Guide.
Comment: This book is more of a research summary than a guide to helping your child. It is interesting and enlightening on the subject of research that has been done on kids social interaction, but its limited material on how to help your child is vague and not very convincing. It left me feeling that: yes, I recognized my daughter as a socially unsuccessful child, but I didn't know what to do about it. If you want an excellent how-to guide, try "Good Friends are Hard to Find" by Fred Frankel.

Summary: I Became Very Discouraged!
Comment: I agree with previous comments about the amount of research that went into writing this book, however after reading through all of the research, I had a feeling of doom. I have two sons aged 7 and 4, and my oldest is having difficulty making friends at his new school after our family relocated from the midwest to the east coast. I was looking for fun, practical solutions to helping him make new friends. What I found was a book that explained extensive research on the subject of popularity,but many of the comments made by the author left me feeling that my son had little hope in improving his social situation. I especially felt disheartend to find that according to the author, a child's social standing is pretty much determined by the first grade! My son's in first grade now. I was a psychology major in college, and could appreciate much of the research, but the book read more like a textbook to me than a book for parents looking for practical solutions to helping their kids form friendships.
