I wrote this list to help military kids make friends when they get to a new location. Sometimes it is hard to feel like you fit in, but if you take my advice, you may make new friends sooner than you think! 

How to Make a Friend:

• Introduce yourself , ask them questions
• Listen and pay attention to them
• Don’t compare new friends with old friends
• Share your toys, ideas and things
• Be kind and respectful

 How NOT to Make a Friend: 

• Interrupt and demand attention
• Ignore people even if you are shy
• Be a bully
• Only talk about yourself
• Be rude and complain a lot
