What others are saying...
“I love all the resources from the Responsive Counselor and this one is no different! 2-5 graders have a difficult time with friendships. I used this as a whole group lesson and then follow up with small groups for the students who are still struggling. Thank you so much for another great resource! “
“This was the perfect lesson to use with my 4th grade students at the end of the year! They were having a little bit of drama and this really helped to talk about healthy relationship characteristics! “
“This was a great resource! I used this in April to review healthy friendships and I plan to use it every September so I can refer to it throughout the year. This resource encouraged A LOT of discussion with the kids!”
