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-conflict-with-other-friend Ep. 132 - Friend won’t talk about problem (Monet, Age 9) https://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/ep132-friend-wont-talk-about-problem-monet-age-9 Get full access to Dr. Friendtastic for Parents at drfriendtastic.substack.com/subscribe
