Helping Our Kids Foster Friendships :: David Thomas and Sissy Goff [Ep 338]

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’m excited to welcome back Sissy Goff and David Thomas to the show to talk about helping our kids foster friendships.  As licensed counselors, working at DayStar Counseling Center in Nashville, they provide support, encouragement & compassion to children, adolescents & families in need through counseling.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We talk about the nuances of boys vs girls in friendships, what to do if your kid is the bully, helping kids when friendships change or friends move, and how to take cues from our kids when it comes to their friendships</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It is really more important to prioritize teaching kids to be friends than to be concerned with them, having friends. And when it comes to our worries and fears about friendships, we can't have more emotion than they do over whatever's going on for them relationally. Often that will make them either feel like we're not safe to talk to, or it'll just make them dam up these feelings.”</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Connect with David & Sissy: </span></h2> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Website: </span> <a href= "https://www.raisingboysandgirls.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">raisingboysandgirls.com</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;"> </span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Facebook:</span> <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/raisingboysandgirls?ref=hl"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">facebook.com/raisingboysandgirls</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instagram: </span> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sissygoff/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">@sissygoff</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">&</span> <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/raisingboysandgirls/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">@raisingboysandgirls</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;"> </span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Podcast:</span> <a href= "https://www.raisingboysandgirl
