Hi there! I am Studyfin, your learning buddy. Let's learn how to build great friendships and solve problems together!
Good friends share special qualities that help them get along. These qualities are truth, kindness, reliability, and respectfulness. When we use them, our friendships grow strong.
Reliability means you keep your promises. If you say you will help a friend, you do it. Respectfulness means you treat your friend's feelings and ideas with care.
Sometimes friends disagree, and that is okay! We can solve conflicts by talking calmly. We listen to each other and find a way to make things fair for both sides.
Sam and Leo both want to play with the same blue ball at recess. They are starting to get angry. Walk through how they can solve this conflict using good social skills.
- First, Sam and Leo stop and take a deep breath to cool down.
- Next, Sam truthfully explains his feelings. He says, 'I want to play catch.'
- Then, Leo listens with respect. He says, 'I want to kick goals.'
- After that, they think of a kind way to share the ball.
- Finally, they make a reliable plan. They play catch for ten minutes, then kick goals.
