For a TRANSCRIPT go to: https://DrFriendtastic.com/podcast/ DISCUSSION QUESTIONS - Have you ever been called names you didn’t like? What happened? How did you handle it? - Why is it important to stop when a friend asks us to stop? What are some reasons why kids sometimes don’t stop when asked? - Dr. Friendtastic mentioned communicating about your communication by describing the pattern you see and asking what’s going on. Why might this be a helpful thing to do in a friendship? (Hint: Why is it useful to describe the pattern? Why is it useful to ask what’s going on?") - What does this statement mean: “How you think affects how you feel”?
