This book has some great tips for parents to help children improve their social skills. I would recommend if for anyone who has children that have difficulties with friendships. The author has ideas for the shy, sensitive kids as well as for the impulsive kids. There is a section for children with ADHD as well. I use this book as a reference and refer to it a lot in dealing with my children.

If you want to join a game of boys, play detective first. What are the rules, and which team could best use your help. Then dive in and ask someone on the losing team if you can jump in. If it's a game of girls, you'd better ask the kid who owns the toy/ball they're playing with.

Excellent resource for many aspects in helping children develop friendships, obtain social skills, interact with not so pleasant peers, and advice to parents on redirecting their child should they be the bully.
