Charlotte, Age 8: Feeling different and rejected
Ep. 49 - Kids Ask Dr. Friendtastic: Feeling Different and Rejected Charlotte wonders what to do when her differences separate her from her peers. 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.) DISCUSSION QUESTIONS - We are all different. What are some ways that you are different from other kids around you? Do you feel proud, neutral, or ashamed about those differences? How do those differences affect your friendships? - What are some examples of visible differences (that people see immediately)? What are some examples of invisible differences (meaning the differences are real and important but other people don’t necessarily realize they’re there when they first meet someone)? - Dr. Friendtastic says, “A shared activity can bridge differences and build connection.” What does this mean? - Why do you think some kids don’t want to be around kids who are different from them? How could this attitude hurt them? For a formatted TRANSCRIPT go to: https://DrFriendtastic.com/podcast/ Like the podcast? Check out my books and webinars at https://EileenKennedyMoore.com.
