*** DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
- Why do you think kids are sometimes kinder to their friends than they are to their siblings?
- When is it okay to exclude a sibling? When is it not?
- A compromise means doing partly what you want and partly what someone else wants. Why is compromise important in relationships? Please describe one time when you compromised.
- Dr. Friendtastic said, “Learning to balance what you want and what others want is an important relationship skill.” Why is this important? (Hint: What happens if you only think about what you want or only think about what others want?)
