For a TRANSCRIPT go to: https://DrFriendtastic.com/podcast/ DISCUSSION QUESTIONS - Being “the new kid” can happen when we move homes or when we join a new group or activity. Have you ever felt like “the new kid”? How did you handle that? - Dr. Friendtastic says that common ground is where friendships grow. What does that mean to you? What are some ways to find or create common ground with other kids? - Which activities have you done that have been most helpful to you for making friends? - Being kind doesn’t guarantee that someone will become our friend. Why is it a good idea to be kind, anyway?
