What did your friend do? How did it make you feel?- What are some ways you have given practical support to a friend?- What are some ways you have given emotional support to a friend?- Why is it a good idea to ask a friend what kind of support they want?- What does Dr. Friendtastic mean when she says, “Don’t disappear!” when a friend needs support? (Hint: How would a friend feel if they get lots of support at first but then that support fades, even though the stressful situation continues?)*** You might also like these podcast episodes:Ep. 24 - Olivia, Age 13: Some friendships have limits https://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/kids-ask-dr-friendtastic-ep-24-oliviaEp. 33 - Richard, Age 11: Best ways to show empathyhttps://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/kids-ask-dr-friendtastic-ep-33-richardEp. 37 - Saanvi, Age 12: What's the right gift for a friend?https://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/saanvi-age-12-whats-the-right-gift Get full access to Dr. Friendtastic for Parents at drfriendtastic.substack.com/subscribe
