Eileen Kennedy-Moore- Dr. Friendtastic

To kick off Season 8, we’re excited to welcome our "friend," Eileen Kennedy-Moore, PhD. Eileen is the creator of the Kids Ask Dr. Friendtastic podcast, where she answers kids' questions about making and keeping friends. She’s also the author of several books for children and parents, and has delivered an inspiring TEDx talk. This podcast has taught us so much about what it truly means to be a friend. Eileen discussed important topics like conflict, bullying, and how these issues affect not only children but parents too. She explained that we shouldn’t aim for transactional friendships and emphasized that we shouldn’t change who we are to make friends, because "deceit is not a path toward friendship." Tune in this week to learn more about Dr. Friendtastic and all the incredible work she’s doing!   Main Website: EileenKennedyMoore.com Podcast for Kids: DrFriendtastic.com/podcast  TEDx: Is It Bullying or Ordinary Meanness?
