Be open, kind and understanding. Always be open to being someone’s friend Even if someone is different than you - you can still be their friend 2. Be inclusive. “Don’t let anyone sit alone!” “When I taught little kids, we had a buddy bench where you could sit if you were looking for a buddy on the playground,” she says. “Just that tool alone let us really talk about what it means to be friendly with someone.” 3. ‘Be there’ for your friends. True friends depend on each other. They have each other’s backs. They are a source of comfort to one another. Reminding them that you want to be there, in the good and bad times, to support them (and) showing them you care means so much.” 4. Stand up for your friends. One of the bravest — and kindest — things a kid can do is to stand up for a friend. And although it’s an important part of friendship, sometimes it can be a bit scary to do if a bully is involved. 5. Understand that friendships aren’t always perfect. We all do better when we have a friend in our life - is there someone that you can be a friend to? that new friend needs you , just as much as you might need them! https://dailysantapodcast.com/ (https://dailysantapodcast.com/) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daily-santa-podcast/message
