ITL169: How to Deal With “No One Wants to Be My Friend”




In the Loop with Andy Andrews show

Summary: On this week’s episode, I answer a question on how to help a child when they’re having a tough time making friends.    How can you help when they say, “No one wants to be my friend?” It’s a focusing process. Our thinking is at the foundation of everything. It determines our choices, and everything about us.    When people are disgruntled or depressed, they’re thinking more about themselves. They aren’t thinking about whom they can serve and help. If you’re child is sad or scared about making friends or going over to a friend’s house, focus their mind on the fun activities or opportunities they have. I wouldn’t talk to your child about why no one wants to be his or her friend. Instead, direct their thinking to how they can be the greatest friend in the class.    Questions for Listeners Do you have a question? Call in and your question might be featured on the show!
