Hi there,
I’m Dr. Eileen Kennedy-Moore. I’m an author and clinical psychologist based in Princeton, NJ. Each episode of the Kids Ask Dr. Friendtastic podcast features an audio recording of a question about friendship from a kid (in grades K-8), plus a practical and thought-provoking answer from me!
So many of the questions kids send in involve issues that we adults continue to struggle with. Relationships are complicated!
Here are a few of my favorite episodes:
Ep. 44 – Vera, Age 8: Change self to make friends?
Ep. 57 – Zen, Age 6: Avoiding Conflict
Ep. 55 – Blaire, Age 12: Say no without feeling bad
The Kids Ask Dr. Friendtastic podcast is available on your favorite platform or at https://DrFriendtastic.com/podcast. If you join my free newsletter, you’ll get podcast episodes sent directly to your email, along with discussion questions and an easy-to-read transcript.
Warm wishes,
Dr. Eileen
P.S. Check out this FREE quiz: Is Your Child a Good Friend?
Would YOUR kid enjoy being featured on the podcast?
Adults, please use your smartphone's memo function or an audio app to record your child's question. Hold the phone close to your child's mouth to make sure the recording is clear. Have your child state:
their FIRST NAME (or another first name),
their AGE, and
a BRIEF QUESTION or concern about friendship. (Please do not include any friends' names.)
Submit the audio file at https://DrFriendtastic.com/submit. I’ll answer as many questions as I can. (Obviously, this is not psychotherapy, and it’s not for emergency situations.)
The Dr. Friendtastic for Parents newsletter and the Kids Ask Dr. Friendtastic podcast are for educational purposes only. They may or may not be relevant for your particular situation. I trust you to use your judgment about what’s right for your child and your family.
