Donné organised a play date with one of the families from her class, so Grace says, “But Rachael’s not my friend.” Donné says to her, “Well Grace, you don’t have to play with her in the playground, maybe just do some work together or something.”

Later in the week Grace says, “I’m going to work with Rachael, so that we can be friends before our play date.” A day or two later and Grace says that Rachael is her friend and they played together. This morning (before the play date that happened this afternoon), Rachael apparently said to her mom, “Grace is my friend.”

The hard work paid off Grace!
