How did you handle that? - How can disliking someone (and telling people you don’t like that person!) hurt your friendships with other kids? - Dr. Friendtastic said that staying away from a group because you don’t like one person “would be giving this one kid a lot of power to influence who you play with and what you do.” What does this mean? - Why is trying to kick someone out of a group an unkind thing to do? - Why might flooding someone you don’t like with kindness be a useful strategy? (Hint: How are they likely to respond?) When would this strategy not be a good idea? *** You might also like these podcast episodes: Ep. 138 - When joking is mean, not funny (Seb, Age 11) https://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/ep138-when-joking-is-mean-not-funny-seb-age11 Ep. 12 - Kid bullies him at recess (Adrian, Age 8) https://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/kids-ask-dr-friendtastic-ep-12-adrian Ep. 3 - Kid tr… ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/kids-ask-dr-friendtastic-friendship-advice-for-kids-k-8-5992475/episodes/he-doesn-t-like-one-kid-in-the-group-joe-age-9-145/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/kids-ask-dr-friendtastic-friendship-advice-for-kids-k-8-5992475/he-doesn-t-like-one-kid-in-the-group-joe-age-9-145.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
