TOWER TALKS: A Speaker-Series Event Featuring MICHAEL G. THOMPSON, Ph.D.  

BEST FRIENDS, WORST ENEMIES: Understanding the Social Lives of Our Children

Friends broaden our children’s horizons, share their joys and secrets, and accompany them on their journeys into wider worlds. But friends can also gossip and betray, tease and exclude. 

Best Friends, Worst Enemies brings to life the drama of childhood relationships. Here you will find illuminating discussions of the difference between friendship and popularity; how boys and girls deal in unique ways with intimacy and commitment; whether all kids need a best friend; why cliques form, and what you can do about them.
