Anna, Age 9: Wishing for a Best Friend
Ep. 46 - Kids Ask Dr. Friendtastic: Building closer friendships When they see that other kids paired off with a best friend, and they don’t have one, kids can feel like they’re missing out. Anna wants to know what she can do to get a best friend. Would YOUR KID like to be featured on the podcast? SUBMIT A QUESTION TO DR. FRIENDTASTIC at https://DrFriendtastic.com/submit. (Obviously, this is not psychotherapy, and it’s not for emergency situations.) For a TRANSCRIPT go to: https://DrFriendtastic.com/podcast/ DISCUSSION QUESTIONS - Who do you consider your closest friends? How did you become close? - Has anyone ever said to you, “I’ll be your best friend if you..”? If so, how did that make you feel? Why is this NOT a good way to make close friends? - What do you think Dr. Friendtastic means when she says, “Friends are people, not possessions”? (Hint: She also talks about building a close friendship together, with time and effort.) - Why do you think Dr. Friendtastic likes the term “close friend” more than “best friend”? - Thinking about the kids you know now, who is someone you’d like to become closer friends with? How could you do that? Like the podcast? Check out my books and webinars at https://EileenKennedyMoore.com.
