    I taught my son to be nice and share. We moved to Seattle and the neighbor next to us were nice but their kids had potty mouths. Soon my son had one too.

  2. Dorothy Walters says

    September 18, 2013 at 23:16

    It was a very good review about friendships and how to handle situations in a positive manner.

  3. laurie nykaza says

    September 18, 2013 at 23:18

    sharing is important and helps develop relationships with others

  4. Anastasia says

    September 18, 2013 at 23:32

    I teach them about friendship by relating my own experiences with friends, bullying and how I dealt with them all 🙂 I also tell them that the way I did things might not be the way they should and to use their best judgement in any situation 🙂 My examples are just a rough guideline from one perspective 🙂

  5. Margot C says

    September 18, 2013 at 23:39

    We read books with friendship as a theme

  6. Rebecca DeCamp Bryant says

    September 18, 2013 at 23:56

    I taught my children to always be a good listener in their friendships and to be honest at all times.

  7. Rebecca DeCamp Bryant says

    September 19, 2013 at 00:00

    Thanks so much for the review. I am always looking for good books to read to my grandchildren and I really like good teaching books.

  8. stacey dempsey says

    September 19, 2013 at 01:36

    I think there are alot of good books that model the kind of things that kids need to know about being a good friend and I think it really sinks in when they learn it in a fun way like through a book. While kids listen to what we say as parents I think they like to hear it from other sources even more lol

  9. Kathleen says

    September 19, 2013 at 04:26

    I hope I set a great example by being a good friend and having positive friendships. I’ve always told my three daughters that to have great fiends, you have to be a great friend. I also expected that they always treat others respectful, even those that aren’t their friends.

  10. Lisa Brown says

    September 19, 2013 at 04:43

    Well, I lead by example and try to treat others with respect and kindness.

  11. Melani says

    September 19, 2013 at 07:50

    I taught my children and I am teaching my grand children that God created all of us and loves each and everyone of us! He (Jesus) teaches us to Love our neighbor as we love ourselves and when we love people we want to be friends them! We ask God to let us see others with His eyes and to allow us to feel the love He feels for all of His children!

  12. Jeanna says

    September 19, 2013 at 08:11

    We are working on our sharing & being kind to everyone no matter what!

  13. Deborah D says

    September 19, 2013 at 08:12

    I taught them to be friends with everybody. I also said not say anything negative about anyone because you may be in the same situation one day.

  14. Stacey J. says

    September 19, 2013 at 08:54

    I always remind them to be respectful of others and treat them the way you would like to be treated.

  15. Eliza Ferree says

    September 19, 2013 at 09:05

    we talk about it, talk about accepting attitudes, things friends do and do not do, etc.

  16. shirley says

    September 19, 2013 at 09:22

    I think by example first, and we have books and dvds about friendship, too.

  17. KateV says

    September 19, 2013 at 09:57

    I try to always go back to the golden rule… treat people the way you want to be treated. Helps settle disputes between friends.

  18. Mia Dentice Carey says

    September 19, 2013 at 10:18

    I make sure he THINKS about how he would feel…..I encourage him to BE NICE, take turns and be kind.

  19. melina r says

    September 19, 2013 at 10:27

    I tell them to always be nice to other kids, never mean.

  20. Shelley P says

    September 19, 2013 at 11:38

    September 19, 2013 at 13:51

  23. Terri Quick says

    September 19, 2013 at 14:00

    Teaching children to share is a good way .

  24. Cindy Merrill says

    September 19, 2013 at 14:07

    I’m an honorary grammy to my hubby’s grandkids- from what I’ve heard, all three kids are exceptional, have lots of friends: I think the important thing is to think of the other person and how they feel.

  25. rachel rohde says

    September 19, 2013 at 14:13

    one way is teaching him to share his toys.

  26. tracy simms says

    September 19, 2013 at 14:14

    I try to get my sons to share and to be kind to their friends..they like to wrestle but I try to tell them not to so no one gets hurt!!

  27. Karen Lynn says

    September 19, 2013 at 14:25

    I teach them how to react to conflict.

  30. Kristin says

    September 19, 2013 at 15:04

    Well, one important way for me was to teach by example. It’s hard to expect your kids to grasp the meaning of friendship when you talk badly about your friends behind their back, or get in petty fights, or behave badly in your own, adult friendships.

  31. Edna Myers says

    September 19, 2013 at 15:30

    Never base friendship on money, clothes, or what others think. Base it off of the person standing before you.

  32. DanV says

    September 19, 2013 at 15:51

    We teach them through stories and also talking about the friends they are making

  33. Tammy Dalley says

    September 19, 2013 at 16:18

    I teach them to share and we read books about best friends and sharing with others and being there for each other!

    September 19, 2013 at 17:37

    read some books about it or do role playing of what being a good friend looks like

  35. Amber Terry says

    September 19, 2013 at 18:45

    I think it’s important to teach kids about being kind to others.

  36. Kim Pinch says

    September 19, 2013 at 19:29

    I teach them by example. I always remind them not to say anything negative about anyone and to apoligize even if they think something wasn’t their fault.

  37. Mary Withrow says

    September 19, 2013 at 19:45

    I would agree with everyone, I teach by example, being kind to others, sharing. I think friendship just comes naturally with being a good person.

  38. Leslie Galloway says

    September 19, 2013 at 19:49

  42. Shane R. says

    September 20, 2013 at 01:06

    September 20, 2013 at 05:30

    emphasis the importance of being a good friend as often as you can.

  45. Erin Thompson says

    September 20, 2013 at 05:48

    I always tell my kids it’s quality not quantity.

  46. Rosie LaVertue says

    September 20, 2013 at 05:58

    sharing is important and not making fun of people

  47. Lisa V. says

    September 20, 2013 at 06:02

    Some of the things I try to install were to be honest and to be there for a friend during the good and bad times.

  48. Carla S says

    September 20, 2013 at 07:12

    By telling them to be good people

  57. Andrew Leukhardt says

    September 20, 2013 at 10:30

    I stress the importance of kindness, understanding, and forgiveness to my son

  58. kim h says

    September 20, 2013 at 11:15

    I have taught them to love and be open minded about everyone. Stereotyping is not a way to find good friends

    September 20, 2013 at 11:26

  64. Peter G says

    September 20, 2013 at 14:49

    I taught my children to think for themselves and don’t rush to judge or be friendly with someone. If you couldn’t bring this person home to meet your family, better think why are you friendly.

  65. Amber says

    September 20, 2013 at 15:02

    I teach my kids the golden rule, and to share and to be patient. I think those are some important friendship tips 🙂

  66. Betty says

    September 20, 2013 at 15:39

    We were military and and that means you change schools; we put a positive spin on it that each new class or extracurricular activity was an opportunity to meet new friends. In military communities there is a consistent turnover each year and it’s not just your kids who are new.

  67. Kayla Lee says

    September 20, 2013 at 16:25

    I teach him about friendship through play dates with other kids. Honestly he’s the most loving person I’ve ever met and has never met a stranger. I feel like he teaches me more about friendship than I teach him.

  68. Elizabeth says

    September 20, 2013 at 16:56

    I don’t have kids, but I would tell them stories, listen to theirs, and teach them about how to get along with others!

  69. Jacob LaFountaine says

    September 20, 2013 at 17:17

    Lead by example. Treat your friends like you’d want your children to treat theirs

  70. Tiffani P. says

    September 20, 2013 at 17:39

    I teach my son to be nice to everyone. And if he is having a “not so friendly moment”, I remind him to think about how he felt during certain situations… when someone was mean or wouldn’t share and how it made him feel at the time and also a time when someone was being nice to him and how that made him feel good.

  71. Kiara says

    September 20, 2013 at 17:51

  75. Kathy Lausche says

    September 20, 2013 at 21:04

    I tried to teach my kids to show respect for everyone! And to reach out to kids that are shy and don’t seem to have a lot of friends.

  78. Christy Maurer says

    My kids are teens now, but I think that children just naturally seek out others like themselves to bond with.

    We try to work in “how would he/she feel?” moments of reflection whenever we can to encourage them to understand other people’s feelings and perspectives, and we try to lead by example by showing random acts of kindness to our friends and family members.

  88. Dawn Sterner says

    September 21, 2013 at 12:37

    Reading books, watching educational shows & just learning from us.

  89. justa sobriquet says

    September 21, 2013 at 12:59

    Adorable books. Too bad my child is almost a teenager (sometimes I wish he were little again), he’s a little too old for that book but I have some nephews that are approaching story-book time.

  90. Mike says

    September 21, 2013 at 13:13

    You should let them play, and learn, with other kids and have fun no matter the race/gender. Just let the kids be kids.

  91. kathy pease says

    September 21, 2013 at 14:18

    I guess I would say telling them to be nice to people and not be a person that talks about people behind their back

  92. tanya devenney says

    September 21, 2013 at 17:33

    September 21, 2013 at 22:52

    teach your children to interact with other children unselfishly, teach them to be kind . manners is a way of showing respect, teach them with your actions . teach them with books, teach them with programs set up for children right choices and wrong choices, but always teach them to love, and not hate, and teach them everyone was created equal.and teach them to share,

  99. Georgia Beckman says

    September 21, 2013 at 22:53

    I think the best way to teach is by example. If I do something nice for a friend, they learn the concept of doing for others.

  100. Lisa says

    September 21, 2013 at 23:23

  102. Deb Esling says

    September 21, 2013 at 23:56

  124. Christian Alejandro says

    September 22, 2013 at 22:04

    I like leading by example. Demonstrating our own healthy friendships and respect is the way to go.
