“Toxic Friend” Characteristics
Parents, we know that we are the number one influence in our childโs lives. But, when they become young adults, they start to pull away from us and push more into their peer groups.โฃโฃ

We encourage you to have conversations with your children about friendship characteristics. ๐๐จ๐๐๐ฒ, ๐ฅ๐๐ญโ๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ง โ๐๐จ๐ฑ๐ข๐ ๐

We encourage you to talk to your child to see if they have any friends that exhibit theses traits, or if they themselves exhibit any of these traits. ๐๐๐ฏ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐๐ซ so you can reference back to it! ๐
