What happened? What was your friend’s point of view and what was yours? How did the conflict affect your friendship? - Dr. Friendtastic says that conflict can be a way for friends to learn about each other. What does that mean? - When might it be a good idea to give in and do what your friend wants, even though it isn’t exactly what you want? When is it NOT a good idea to do this? - Why is it important to try to understand what a friend is thinking or feeling? (Hint: What could happen if we just insist on what we want?) - What are some things you can do or not do to make conflicts with a friend less painful? *** You might also like these podcast episodes: Ep. 73 - Best friend suddenly stops playing with him (J.J., Age 11) https://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/ep73-jj-age-11-best-friend-stops-playing-with-him Ep. 103 - Friend butt into conflict with other friend (Grace, Age 8) https://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/ep103-friends-butt-into…","meta_description":"Re-release Ep. 57 - Kids Ask Dr. Friendtastic: The upside of disagreements | Friendship advice for kids FREE guide for parents: 12 ways to help your child…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":364,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/kids-ask-dr-friendtastic-friendship-advice-for-kids-k-8-5992475/episodes/avoiding-conflict-with-friends-zen-age-6-re-release-ep-57/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/kids-ask-dr-friendtastic-friendship-advice-for-kids-k-8-5992475/avoiding-conflict-with-friends-zen-age-6-re-release-ep-57.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
