In Week 3, Harriet had a visit
to YP Vets. Dr Michael Lake
(Xavier in Year 3’s Dad) gave
her a vaccination and dental
check.
She was very good whilst
having her teeth checked,
and an injection. Harriet was
rewarded with a treat and big
hug at the end of her visit.
The Friend-O-Meter
A healthy relationship is one that feels good and lifts you up! However, Friendship Fact
#1 reminds us that no friendship is perfect. Conflict is normal and inevitable in all of our
relationships. But, how much is too much?
According to relationship expert Dr John Gottman, the magic ratio for healthy relationships
is 5 to 1. This means that for every one negative feeling or interaction, there must be five
positive feelings or interactions. The Friend-O-Meter is a great tool to assist students in
understanding how they feel about their friendships, and regulating interactions.
