B Watch me, then you4 min

At Ruby's kitchen table, her friend Pip always picks the game. When Ruby suggests one, Pip says, “That's rubbish, we're doing mine.” Where does this sit on the scale?

A kitchen table set for tea with two chairs pulled out, no people

Watch me

Clue 1: Ruby is not allowed to choose the game.

Clue 2: Her idea is called rubbish, so she feels small.

Both clues point to the stormy end.

D Spot the mistake3 min

Nia has an idea about what to do. Read it and find the problem.

Write one reason why Nia is wrong.

E Think deeper3 min

Think about the clues you have been looking for.

Answers, and what a wrong one tells you

A

1. stormy end If your child picks sunny end, ask: does worried feel calm or heavy? Then point to the scale together and say which picture is heavier.

2. red light If your child picks green light, ask what the friend said about your child's ideas. Respect means both people's ideas are listened to, so the red light fits.

3. yellow If your child picks green, ask: did Mia get told about the plans? Being left out is a small warning, so yellow fits better than green.

B

1. sunny end If your child picks stormy end, ask: what did the friend do to put things right? Saying sorry and sharing the choice point to the sunny end.

C

1. sunny end If your child picks stormy end, ask: who is making the choices here? Both girls take turns and ask questions, so it points to the sunny end.

2. stormy end If your child picks cannot tell, ask: what happens every time Sam says no? Jay sulks until Sam gives in, which is a pressure clue, so this points to the stormy end.

3. stormy end If your child picks sunny end, ask: which clue is about control? Ella tries to decide who Ruth can talk to, which is a stormy clue even though she was kind on Monday.

4. cannot tell from this If your child picks sunny or stormy end, ask: does one borrowed rubber show how this friendship usually goes? One small moment is not a pattern, so cannot tell fits best.

D

1. Look for: A reason such as: keeping it secret lets the meanness carry on, and telling a trusted adult can help stop it. If your child agrees with Nia, ask: who could help you stop it? Keeping it secret lets it carry on. Say that a trusted grown-up can help, and that your child will never be in trouble for telling.

E

1. Look for: Two clues of control, fear or humiliation, such as being bossed around, being made to feel silly, or being told who they can play with.

Words to use

Say“Where did you see the clue? Which end of the scale does it sit nearer, and why?”

Instead of“Friends always fall out, so don't worry about it.”

After the sheet

Draw a line from sunny to stormy on paper and place four short friend stories along it, saying the clue for each. If a story ever worries your child, call the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000, or Childline on 0800 1111.
