For Kids

When a friendship slowly fades, your light didn't get smaller. It was shining the whole time — even when it wasn't being shone back.

For Parents

When a friendship fades, the warmth a child poured into it doesn't retroactively become wasted. Naming that aloud helps them keep their tenderness intact for the friendships still ahead of them.
