I once saw this book, it said that the worst thing that parents can do is to decide who your friends are. Has anyone seen this book?

Hi, jojen, and welcome to Psych Central!
I don't remember a book that said that, but it's certainly true. (I am a social psychologist.)  Friendship should be based on common interests and a liking for the other person. In other words, you enjoy being around the person. |

I think parents can decide who aren't your friend, but not who your friends are. It's the responsibility of parents to protect their children from potentially harmful relationships.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
