When You Don't Like Their Friends

Word-for-word scripts that help you speak up about the friends who worry you, without pushing your tween or teen away.

We can't control who our kids choose as friends, and the more we criticize them, the more our kids defend them. These scripts help you stay the person they come home and talk to, while still being clear about what matters.

Inside you'll find:

  • Questions to get curious about the friendship first
  • What to say about a worrying behavior, with scripts for tweens and for teens
  • How to set clear rules calmly, and what to say when they defend their friends
  • Back-pocket lines and signs it's more than just the wrong crowd

Sheryl Gould, founder of Moms of Tweens and Teens

Hi, I'm Sheryl!

I'm a Parent and Relationship Coach, a mom of three grown kids, and a grandma of four. For 18 years I've helped moms stay connected to their tweens and teens.

Worrying about your kid's friends is one of the hardest parts of these years. The more we fight their friends, the tighter they hold on. Getting curious and staying calm keeps the door open. I'm so glad you're here.
