- Bonding is the relationship or link with someone based on shared feelings, interests, or experiences.
- Model and explain friendship, processing out loud the acts of friendship:
“Youre good at playing with your friends”, “You did what i wanted now we do what you want”, “Thats how i can tell what you like, if you look at me, then i know youre still interested”, “Thank you for letting me be your friend” - Talk about their friends (even if you think there are none), make them part of a community
