Friendship Drama Scripts

When your tween or teen comes home upset about a friend, your instinct is to fix it. But jumping straight to solutions is one of the fastest ways to get them to stop telling you things. This kit teaches you a better way — and gives you the exact words to use.

These 16 scripts are built around one principle: feel understood first, solve problems second. In that order, every time.

What's inside:

• 16 word-for-word scripts for friendship drama, peer pressure, exclusion, toxic friendships, online conflict, and more
• The "validate before you advise" framework — a simple 4-step approach to any hard friendship conversation
• Scripts for when your child is the one who caused the drama (yes, that section is in here)
• A guide to recognizing the difference between normal friend conflict and bullying

You don't have to have all the answers. You just have to make them feel like coming to you was the right call.

Best for: Moms of tweens and teens navigating the messy, painful, very real world of middle and high school friendships — who want to be the safe place their kid runs to, not away from.
