But my son's kindergarten class came up with the following list of "What Makes a Good Friend", and I thought it was worth sharing:
A friend is someone who...
- says nice things to everyone.
plays with you.
shares toys and other things with you.
is patient and polite.
always listens.
tells the truth.
uses his words and not his body.
includes people in his games.
reads with you.
has sleepovers.
takes a walk with you.
plays safely with others.
pays attention to what you are saying.
cares about you and takes care of you.
has playdates with you.
makes you feel good and happy.
draws with you.
helps you with your problems.
always makes up with you.
after a disagreement, always gives a handshake or a hug and says, "I'm sorry".
I think I would like to have one of these "friends"!
