Childhood Friendships and Peer Relations: Friends and Enemies

Schneider presents readers with the second edition of his comprehensive examination of what we know about making friends and enemies during childhood and how the relationships we make as children can have lasting effects. He covers the theoretical and historical roots of peer-relations research, the importance of peer relations, where social competence comes from, defining social competence, techniques for assessing children’s social relations, and many other related subjects over the book’s twelve chapters.
