What is a Friend?

A friend is someone you like to spend time with. Friends are special because they make us happy and help us feel good. Let’s think about what makes a friend:

1. Someone You Enjoy Being With

When you have a friend, you can play games, share toys, and have fun together. Whether it’s playing on the swings at the park or building with blocks at home, friends are people you like to have around.

2. You Help Each Other

Friends help each other when things are tough. If you fall down and hurt your knee, a friend might come over to make sure you’re okay. Or if you don't understand something, a friend can help you figure it out!

3. You Laugh and Share Secrets

Having a friend means you can tell them funny jokes and share secrets that you might not tell anyone else. Laughing together makes you feel closer and happier!

4. Friends Are Kind

{It’s important to be kind to your friends. You should treat them how you want to be treated. If you share your toys and say nice things, they will want to be your friend!

5. Sometimes Friends Can Argue

Sometimes friends don’t always agree or might get mad at each other. That's okay! It’s important to talk about your feelings and try to solve problems together. This is part of being a good friend!

Conclusion

So, a friend is someone you enjoy being with, who helps you, shares laughs, is kind, and works through problems with you. Making friends can be so much fun, and it makes growing up even better!
