It is normal for parents to be concerned about the kinds of friends their kids have. Who your child is hanging out with directly influences the way your kid acts, talks, and thinks. By the time your child becomes a teenager, it is usually peers that influence your child more than parents - friends that have the top role in their decision-making practices. That's why it is so important to stay connected with your child.
Kids can be so sweet...kids can also be very mean. As a parent, it’s your natural instinct to protect your child – to keep him or her from getting physically and emotionally hurt. It’s a difficult enough challenge at home, but as soon as your child walks out that door, his fate is often in his own hands. You can’t be there when your child is taunted on the playground, talked about behind her back, or tricked and pushed around by older kids, but you can prepare your child to defend himself or herself emotionally against bullies.
