He teaches me that friends don't stop liking us because they're with other people. Grandpa asks if I want to walk to the park to find someone to play with. Or if I want to call a friend and make a playdate for tomorrow." A special section for adults offers more information on how children of differing ages express jealousy and envy, and how to help children manage these feelings in healthy and empowering ways.
