*** DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:


Why do you think kids sometimes feel nervous about talking with other people? (Hint: What might they be afraid of?)


Who do you enjoy chatting with? Why? (Hint: What do they do that makes your conversation enjoyable?)


How could you answer the question “How are you?” using the “Great!”-plus-one-fact formula? (Reminder: The “one fact” should create a picture in the listener's mind.) Why might this be a useful formula for conversations?


Dr. Friendtastic says, “focus on being interested more than interesting.” What does that mean? Why might it be a helpful approach to conversations?
