BEST FRIENDS features Maya, who is hesitant to attend school. In a classic playground move, her friend has told her she is not her BFF. The problem is, she doesn't know what a BFF is, but she is troubled by the rejection. Her mother points out that she has more than one friend with whom she can play. We're all hooked by the negative. Kids (just like adults) feel rejection and cling to that feeling. The problem is that focusing on the rejection leads to missed opportunities staring you in the face.
