How did your friendship begin? - If you want to make a new friend, why is it important to choose to reach out to someone who is a good candidate for friendship? What makes someone seem like a good friendship possibility? - What are some ways that you have shown friends (or potential friends) that you like them? - Why is it not a good idea to try to buy someone’s friendship by giving them money or your favorite things? - Why is it important to notice how people respond to your friendly actions? What might it mean if they respond positively? What might it mean if they respond negatively? *** You might also like these podcast episodes: Ep. 72 - Making friends in a new school (Nora, Age 8) https://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/ep72-nora-age-8-making-friends-new-schl Ep. 73 - Best friend stops playing with him (J.J., Age 11) https://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/ep73-jj-age-11-best-friend-stops-playing-with-him Ep. 67: Choosing good friends (Paul, Age 12) https://drfriendtastic.subs…
