Being a Good Friend

Identify concrete actions that make someone a good friend, such as sharing, listening, and including others.

A good friend is kind, shares, listens, and includes others. Being a good friend takes practice, just like riding a bike or tying your shoes.

Sometimes being a good friend is easy. Sometimes it is hard, like when you really want the same toy. Good friends keep trying anyway.

📋 For the teacher
Teach it (10–15 min):
  • Role-play tricky friend moments with a stuffed animal or family member so your child can practice the words.
  • Point out real good-friend moments during the day and name them out loud: "That was kind, you shared your snack."
  • Talk through a recent moment when being a good friend was hard, without blame, just problem-solving.
  • Model including others yourself, so your child sees it, not just hears about it.
Talk about it:
  • How can you be a good friend today?
  • Who has been a good friend to you?
  • What is hard about being a good friend sometimes?

Mastery looks like: They can name at least two concrete good-friend actions and describe a real time they practiced one.

Common stumbles: Knowing the right words but not yet using them in a real, heated moment is expected; keep practicing calmly afterward.
