Rexy's Four Steps to Friendship!
1. Use your words. Ask your friend to stop doing whatever it is that is bothering you. Ask why he or she is saying or doing things to bother you.
...If that doesn't work...
​
2. Repeat what you said the first time, in a calm and friendly manner.
...If that doesn't work...
​
3. Move your body away from the situation. Take a break and come back to play with your pal when things have calmed down.
...If that STILL doesn't work...
​
4. Ask for help from a teacher, parent, or a trusted adult.
