When My Friend Plays With Someone Else

I see my friend playing with a different kid.. Read it together, at your pace. Every page is written in your child's voice.

1. Sometimes I look for my friend. I see them playing with someone else.
2. My tummy might drop. I might think, "Do they like that kid more than me?"
3. But what does it really mean?
What could it mean when my friend plays with someone else?
  • They like that game, and that kid was playing it.
  • They can have more than one friend โ€” and so can I.
  • They did not see me yet.
  • We do not have enough information to know.
๐Ÿ’ก There are many reasons friends play with other kids. We cannot know their thoughts without more information. Friendship is not a jar that empties โ€” it grows.
4. I can choose. I can ask to join. I can play something else and see them later. I can invite a new kid to play with me.
5. If I want to join, I can ask.
6. Friends can share their time with many people. Later, my friend and I will play again. That is how friendship works.
