7 TIPS for Friendship

This week we will be focusing in on what really a friend is and how we can be a good friend to others.  This video shows 7 great tips to friendship.

1.) Move closer and say your friend’s name before you speak to them.

2.) Use small sentences, gestures, and wait for your friend to respond to you. (Don’t babble on and on, friendship is a two-way street)

3.) Watch your friend so you can learn what he is good at and what he likes to do. (knowing about your friend is very important).

4.) Give your friend choices of what he likes to do (don’t just always do your favorite thing).

5.) Ask your friend questions to get to know him better. (what are some examples you can think of? )

– What school do you go to?

– Do you like animals?

– Do you like video games? If so what is your favorite one?

– What is your favorite thing to do on a free day?

6.) Use “friendly” words. (Nice words, compliments, understanding words) What are friendly words?

– The most friendly word is just a simple “HI”

–  “I can’t wait to go to the movies with you this weekend.”

–  what about just a smile…no words needed.

7.) Accept differences. Everyone is different in their own way, a good friend accepts the uniqueness of YOU.  (what are some differences we might have?)

– Some people are taller, some are shorter.

– Some people are good at math some are better at reading

– Some people are really good at sports, some people don’t like sports.
