Hi, Allie.
Hi.
So nice to meet you.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for having me.
So let's just jump right in.
Tell me a little bit what's going on, kind of what's top of mind for you right now.
Okay.
So I have five kids.
My oldest is six and my youngest.
are one they just turned one out to into a one and then i have a five year old and a two and a half year old so life is really busy and trying to cultivate really kind thoughtful people is really important to me and um my oldest she is six and she is in grade one she just happened to make friends who when they spend time together and they are friends they're lovely but she's kind of a mean girl and my daughter never knows that when she is going to go to school
if she's going to be friends with her friend like she's always just waiting to know
if she's going to be friends with her or not and waiting mode is never good for anybody but waiting to know
if you're going to be liked that day is like a really it's hard and so on the days where they're good my daughter comes home really happy and on the days that They're not good There's big emotions everywhere and just like not knowing how to Navigate that and we're also friends with the family as well,
which makes it a bit tricky So just trying to encourage my daughter like how do I encourage her other than what I have been saying
like you should make friends with people who make you feel like your best self rather than Just waiting to be loved.
I know that feeling I had that as a kid and Even
if that my friend from when I was a kid talks to me now,
I'm like, yes, you know, like, I get it.
I get it.
