Friends.  Whether you are 8 or 58, making friends can be tricky.  Especially today when we are living in a false reality world called “social” media.  We have more “friends” than ever, but are experiencing depression, loneliness, and isolation more than ever, too.  

 

Amy Pierson, mom to Eva, Isaac, and Benjamin, shares her personal experiences as a new mom in a big city, and how she helps her children navigate friendship.  

 

“Why don’t we invite someone?” These are Amy’s connection words.  Going to the park? Invite someone! Going to eat dinner after a game? Invite someone! Taking a class at the gym? Invite someone! We’re all looking for an invitation.  A simple invitation connects two people.  It’s not hard to do, but why don’t we do it? Fear.  We talk about it.  

 

“You have to want friendship more than you fear not having it.” 

 

We also discuss modeling friendship, being proactive and “helping” younger children learn how to be a friend.  Thanks Amy! As always, we LOVE having Amy on our show.  If you haven’t listened to THE WONDER PODCAST, check it out! Amy has been a frequent guest and friend.  She’s full of godly wisdom.  

 

Thank you for listening! We appreciate you!
