Who do you think you’d like to invite over? What would you like to do with them? - How is friendship different from a game? - Dr. Friendtastic said, “Positive and negative actions don’t have equal impact” on relationships. What does that mean? (Hint: How do kind or unkind actions affect a friendship?) - Why is a one-on-one get-together a good way to deepen a friendship? *** You might also like these podcast episodes: Ep. 49 - Feeling different and rejected (Charlotte, Age 8) https://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/charlotte-age-8-feeling-different Ep. 70 - Knowing when and how to stop (Owen, Age 8) https://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/ep70-owen-age-8-stop-signals Ep. 77 - Friend is nicer to someone else (Maya, Age 8) https://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/ep77-maya-age-8-friend-is-nicer-to-someone-else Get full access to Dr. Friendtastic for Parents at drfriendtastic.substack.com/subscribe
