FRIENDSHIP FIRE FACTS

Research shows that about 85% of conflicts at school are what we call ‘Friendship Fires’.

These are normal, low-level friendship issues like misunderstandings, hurt feelings, and disagreements.

Knowing how to put out those Fires and get friendships back in that Green-Zone on the Friend-o-Meter is one of the most important friendship skills students are learning through the Friendology curriculum.

This month, we are focusing on FORGIVENESS.

Help your child flow towards forgiveness with this ‘Friendship Fire Think Sheet’.

Remind them to focus on what they can control.

As you guide them, remember to calm your protective instinct and ask yourself  “Should I STEP-IN or STEP-BACK?”
