*** DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
- Why is it important to tell friends what you’re thinking or feeling (even if you think it’s obvious)?
- What are some reasons why you might want to forgive a friend who does something bad to you?
- Dr. Friendtastic suggests thinking about two questions after a friend does something you don’t like: 1) What do you think is likely to happen from now on? and 2) Is there anything you could do to make the problem less likely to happen?
- How might these questions help you decide whether to continue a friendship?
- Would you enjoy having a sword fight with a friend using pool noodles? Why or why not?
