We really enjoy your podcast. Short and on point for kids. But I am disappointed on the answer for this question putting all the responsibility on the kid, and leaving out the fact that sometimes you don’t have to do anything wrong for ppl not to “like you/accept you”. Adults personal interests could get in the way of their kids friendships. Think of parents wanting their kids to be friend with the “smart, over-achiever, kid of (parents with big job titles)”. So, yes, it could’ve been that the kid m, knowingly or not, made a mistake, but also, could’ve been adults being closed to ppl that do not meet their “adult standard for being good enough to become friends with their children”.
Parents are the gate-keepers of children's friendships. In Ep. 52 of the Kids Ask Dr. Friendtastic podcast, Tyler wants to know what he can do when his friend's parents don't like him.
