*** DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

- What does it mean to be open to friendship? Why might kids sometimes NOT be open to friendship?

- Think of a time when you started a friendship. How did you and your friend show that you liked each other and were interested in becoming friends?

- Dr. Friendtastic mentioned two mistakes that kids can make in trying to be kind. What are they? Why are they mistakes? (Hint: How might they lead others to think or feel?)

- What are some signs that another kid wants to be friends with you?
