What can you do if you don’t like your child’s friends?
This interesting article was shared to our Guidance Team by our Senior Secondary Deputy Prinicipal, Ms Truong, and I thought it is worth sharing with our Yeronga community.
Many parents will be familiar with this situation: your child has a good or even best friend, but you don’t like them.
Perhaps the friend is bossy, has poor manners or jumps on your furniture.
Maybe you don’t like the way your child behaves when they are with this friend.
For older children, your dislike might relate to the friend’s language, attitude towards school, or risk-taking behaviours. Maybe the friend is hot and cold and elicits more drama than Mean Girls.
