*** DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

- Why is it important to try to understand how a friend is feeling?

- What are the seven clues that can tell us how someone is feeling?

- Think about a time when someone didn’t understand how you were feeling. How did you handle that situation?

- Some people are better than others at communicating about their feelings. Think of the people you know. Whose feelings are easiest to understand? Whose are hardest to guess? Why?
