About this listen

Following on from her groundbreaking Tweens, educator and bestselling author Michelle Mitchell's new, wide-ranging research-backed book is the essential friendship guide for parents with tweens and teenage children.
For more than 30 years, Michelle has interacted with tweens and teens after tricky friendship days. Over that time, she has developed a set of twelve friendship principles that have helped thousands of parents and their children through the most complex areas of growing up.
This book is not just about your child's friendship challenges today; they change daily. This book is about friendship principles that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
In these pages, Michelle has put what she has learnt about friendships into clear, accessible and helpful language that you can transfer to your tween or teen in moments that matter the most.
The twelve principles are:
- Principle 1: Worthiness
- Principle 2: Belonging
- Principle 3: Reciprocity
- Principle 4: Trust
- Principle 5: Placement
- Principle 6: Constructive Conflict
- Principle 7: Protection
- Principle 8: Steadiness
- Principle 9: Boundaries
- Principle 10: Reconciliation
- Principle 11: Perspective
- Principle 12: Growth
With these 12 principles, Michelle has seen young people voice their needs, stand strong and experience more meaningful connections. Most importantly, she has seen these principles give kids options in life.
