In Wellbeing this week, we will be focusing on more Respectful Relationship lessons.
Our goal will be:
• To practise ways to help a friend who has a problem.
We will be discussing what a good friend does, and brainstorm these ideas.
We will discuss that, as well as seeking help, we can give help. We can use our strengths and be a good friend when we work to help others with their problems.
There will be some scenarios that we will work through in small groups. During this we will also discuss how it is good to be able to help friends solve problems, but it is also important to know when to get help from an adult.
We would love it if you could have some follow up discussions about this lesson. Thanks for your support!
