Why or why not? Why might your friend not want to take sides? - Have you ever been in a situation where another kid didn’t like you? Why didn’t they like you? How did you feel about them? How did things end up between you? - Dr. Friendtastic lists a bunch of things that could make the situation worse: Criticizing the friend’s other friend, acting grumpy around the friend, or insisting that the friend has to choose sides. Why are these NOT good options? (Hint: How is the friend likely to react?) - Why does Dr. Friendtastic encourage Ian to try to imagine the other kids’ feelings? (Hint: How might that be helpful for Ian?) Why does she focus on what Ian could do, rather than what the friend should do? *** You might also like these podcast episodes: Ep. 117 - How to tell if a friend is loyal (Julian, Age 12) https://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/how-to-tell-if-a-friend-…
