Who do you think you’d like to invite over? What would you like to do with them? - How is friendship different from a game? - Dr. Friendtastic said, “Positive and negative actions don’t have equal impact” on relationships. What does that mean? (Hint: How do kind or unkind actions affect a friendship?) - Why is a one-on-one get-together a good way to deepen a friendship? *** You might also like these podcast episodes: Ep. 49 - Feeling different and rejected (Charlotte, Age 8) https://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/charlotte-age-8-feeling-different Ep. 70 - Knowing when and how to stop (Owen, Age 8) https://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/ep70-owen-age-8-stop-signals Ep. 77 - Friend is nicer to someone else (Maya, Age 8) https://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/ep77-maya-age-8-friend-is-nicer-to-someone-else Get full access to Dr. Friendtastic for Parents at drfriendtastic.substack.com/subscribe","meta_description":"Ep. 131 - Kids Ask Dr. Friendtastic: Giving versus getting as a friend | Friendship advice for kids Parents, check out my online workshops for kids at wor…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":396,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/kids-ask-dr-friendtastic-friendship-advice-for-kids-k-8-5992475/episodes/they-have-lots-of-playdates-and-he-doesn-t-matthew-age-7/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/kids-ask-dr-friendtastic-friendship-advice-for-kids-k-8-5992475/they-have-lots-of-playdates-and-he-doesn-t-matthew-age-7.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
