When is it not? - A compromise means doing partly what you want and partly what someone else wants. Why is compromise important in relationships? Please describe one time when you compromised. - Dr. Friendtastic said, “Learning to balance what you want and what others want is an important relationship skill.” Why is this important? (Hint: What happens if you only think about what you want or only think about what others want?) *** You might also like these podcast episodes: Ep. 40: Friendly brother also acts wild (Vihaan, age 6) https://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/vihaan-age-6-friendly-brother-acts-wild Ep. 61: How to fight less with brother (Lucy, age 8) https://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/kids-ask-dr-friendtastic-ep-61-lucy Ep. 2 – Friendship with brother (Brayden, Age 12) https://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/kids-ask-dr-friendtastic-episode Get full access to Dr. Friendtastic for Parents at drfriendtastic.substack.com/subscribe
