10 . One of the most important ways to help your child with their friendships is to have open communication with them.    1    . This is more important than you focus on telling them what you think. However, here are a few points to pass on to your teenager when talking about friendships.

Meeting possibilities

    2    . Sometimes, friendships are developed because of shared interests, or activities. Other times, social relationships develop between people who may not seem to have much in common but for whatever reason.

Practicing forgiveness

Friends sometimes hurt each other, but they can always apologize and forgive each other.    3    . However, also be sure to pass on the message that some friendships may not be worth saving, particularly for some bad behaviours. In those conditions, it’s fine to walk away.

    4    

Who your teen chooses to be their friend is important. They might choose friends who share similar interests and histories with them. The most important things to look for are whether or not the person will be a good friend and if your teen enjoys spending time with them.

Putting in the work

It takes many learned skills to make and keep a friendship. It also takes many skills to end a friendship. The reality is that most friendships will experience conflict, and friends will have to work through it to keep the relationship or part ways.    5    .

A．Building closeness

B．Choosing friends wisely

C．Moreover, aim to listen to what they have to say

D．A good friend will make you feel good about yourself

E．Everyone is allowed to have many friends and many types of friends

F．If a friendship is becoming hurtful, ending the friendship is a clever choice

G．Good relationships are worth the work to repair the damage caused by any miscommunications
