Mean Friends: How Do You Deal With Them?

Your child has a friend who causes drama, whines when things don't go their way, and never seems to be disciplined at home. Do you allow the friendship to continue? And where exactly is the boundary?

In this episode, Elizabeth Urbanowicz takes on a question every parent eventually faces. What is the actual goal of friendship, and how do you teach it to a young child? When a difficult friend is a classmate, a teammate, or the neighbor knocking on your door every afternoon, how do you stay kind while still setting limits? And what should you do when your own child is the one drawn to the friend you're worried about?

Elizabeth offers biblical boundaries and practical, situation-by-situation guidance for helping your child build healthy friendships, without simply cutting difficult children out of their life.
