What happened? How did you handle that? - What would you do if your friend group suddenly started being interested in inappropriate topics or activities? - Do you think your grown-ups are more strict, less strict, or about the same level of strictness compared to your friends’ parents? Why? - Why do you think adults try to limit kids’ exposure to “mature” content that is violent or focused on boyfriends and girlfriends? - What rules do you have to follow about electronic devices? If you were a parent, what rules would you have for your kid? Why? *** You might also like these podcast episodes: Ep. 123 - How to Keep Friends (Eva, Age 6) https://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/ep123-how-to-keep-friends-eva-age-6 Ep. 109 - What does it mean to be yourself?
