"Children’s friendships begin early – in infancy – and run exceptionally deep in intensity and loyalty. As children grow, their friendships become more complex and layered but also more emotionally fraught, marked by both extraordinary intimacy and bewildering cruelty. As parents, we watch, and often live through vicariously, the tumult that our children experience as they encounter the 'cool' crowd, shifting alliances, bullies, and disloyal best friends."
