What do children’s relationships teach us about aggression and kindness?

In this episode of Podcast or Perish, I talk with Distinguished Research Professor Debra Pepler of York University, a psychologist and leading authority on bullying and child development. Her pioneering work uses video recordings and observational research to study children’s real-time interactions. We discuss how social relationships influence bullying behaviour, the long-term effects of aggression, and what can be done to foster empathy and resilience in schools.
