Ep. 89: When Kind Girls Fall Through the...

Kari Kampakis
About this episode

As kids grow up and mature - and especially as they go to college - many will decide that kindness is the #1 quality they want in a friend. Once you’ve been burned by a mean friend, you understand why kindness matters. But in the middle school and sometimes the high school years, some kind girls may get overlooked as they float from group to group but don't have a firm place of belonging. Join Kari and Kim as they discuss this common dynamic and reassure parents who try to teach good character that it's worth it to stay the course.
