What You'll Learn

๐Ÿง  Good friends: listen, share, take turns, help when needed, include others, and are honest (kindly). Which of these do you do well? Which could you practice more? Understanding social skills and relationship thinking is one of the building blocks of strong thinking. Here's how to do it: 1. Look carefully at the problem. What do you see? 2. Think about what you already know. Does this remind you of something? 3. Try an answer! It's totally okay to be wrong โ€” that's how we learn. 4. Check: did it work? If not, try something else! You're building your thinking muscles. The more you practice, the stronger they get!
