The new kid at school (Josh Martin aka Majin Buu)

Ep. 27 – Dr. Friendtastic's Friendship League: Josh Martin

Dr. Friendtastic’s Friendship League is made up of adults who care about kids and have volunteered to share with you about a friendship rough spot they faced as a kid plus a kind thing a friend did for them.

In this episode, Josh Martin, who is the voice of Dragon Ball Z’s Majin Buu, talks about coping with being the new kid. Learn more about Josh at https://www.instagram.com/originalbuu/?hl=en.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

- Being “the new kid” can happen when we move homes or when we join a new group or activity. Have you ever felt like “the new kid”? How did you handle that?

- Dr. Friendtastic says that common ground is where friendships grow. What does that mean to you? What are some ways to find or create common ground with other kids?

- Which activities have you done that have been most helpful to you for making friends?

- Being kind doesn’t guarantee that someone will become our friend. Why is it a good idea to be kind, anyway?
