   Abstract:
   Successful peer relationships are critical to children's social development, even more so in view of the increase of single-parent families and children's early enrollment in activities such as day care. This article discusses the literature, describes sociometric procedures for identifying children without friends, and provides two examples of social skills training. © 1986 by the National Association of Social Workers, Inc.
