*** DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

- Have you ever had a best friend? 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)?
