    *** 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?

    *** DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

    - What are some groups you belong to? What do you have in common with other group members? Is it easy or hard for new people to join those groups?

    - Why do you think kids sometimes don’t want new people to join their friendship group? (Hint: What might they be afraid could happen?)

    - Would you rather be in a friendship group where everyone is equal or where you get to be the boss? Why?

    - What qualities make some kids more powerful than others in a friendship group? In other words, why do other kids let certain kids be “in charge”?

    How could building up one-on-one friendships help you join a group?
