Do not confuse this with treatment or mental health advice or direction.

Nothing on this podcast is made to supplement or supersede the relationship and direction of your mental health caretakers.

Although David Koslowski is a licensed marriage and family therapist, he is not functioning as a certified mental health professional in this environment.

And same applies to any professional who may appear on the OG Therapy podcast.

Welcome to the OG Therapy.

Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of OG Therapy.

And as always, I'm your host, David Kozlowski.

And today's a little bit of a surprise or I shouldn't say surprise kind of I had another episode that I was planning on posting for today

however after teaching my high school class today some interesting things happened and I wanted

to share how I handled this situation or situations, I should say.

And the reason I want to tell you guys how I handled the situation is because I think a lot of us adults,

especially adults that work with youth if you're a coach of anything, if you're a teacher,

maybe you teach at church, at school, whatever your role is.

If you have lots of kids or you're kind of that family, that house where there's tons of

other kids that come to your house, this episode is specifically for you because I want you

parents and I want you adults to know how much influence

you have over kids and what you can do to use that influence to help them have better

relationships, get along with their peers better, and kind of teach them how to do the things

you want them to do, when I say things you want them do, how to teach them how

to behave and respond and have to treat their peers, even if they don't necessarily want

to be nice and them, even if they don't necessarily want to be understanding, inclusive,

and make new friends with certain kids.
