What did you do to build your friendship? - Dr. Friendtastic said, “Friendships aren’t all or nothing.” What does that mean? - How might increasing your kind actions lead to more friends or closer friends? - Why is getting together with a friend outside of where you have to see them a good way to deepen friendships? [Hint: What does the invitation communicate to the friend?] - How is a friend different from a chair (other than appearance)? *** 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. 48 - New friend claims to be best friend (Lily, Age 6) https://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/lily-age-6-new-friend-claims-to-be-best-friend Ep. 46 - Wishing for a best friend (Anna, Age 9) https://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/anna-age-9-wishing-for-best-friend Get full access to Dr. Friendtastic for Parents at drfriendtastic.substack.com/subscribe
