Summary
In this episode of OG Therapy, David dives into the psychology of why kids feel so powerful when an adult shows them attention, and how parents can leverage that to encourage real friendships. We explore practical strategies—from using rewards and bargaining to teaching simple conversation starters—that help kids feel confident connecting with peers.
Whether it’s motivating your child to re-connect with old friends, or guiding them to meet new ones, these methods focus on creating positive social experiences that stick. You’ll learn how to use your child’s interests as a “carrot” for social growth, and how to turn back-to-school jitters into opportunities for friendship.
