You’ll leave with simple, repeatable tools you can weave into everyday moments at home, school, and play. -- Overview: In this episode you will: 1.

Together, they uncover how true friendship fosters resilience, combats loneliness, and teaches empathy across every stage of life. Dr. Borba shares moving classroom stories, including a teacher’s “Spotlight” activity that transforms a shy student through simple acts of kindness. She explains how empathy begins in early childhood and can be strengthened through everyday modeling — noticing feelings, naming emotions, and teaching compassion as a life skill. The conversation dives deep into how parents and teachers can help children build and choose real friends by role-playing, using stories, and practicing social awareness. A key warning emerges about the growing number of children turning to AI “friends” for comfort. Borba highlights how artificial companionship, though easy and private, deprives kids of the challenges that develop true empathy and emotional growth. As the discussion turns to adolescence, Borba introduces practical tools like the CALM strategy (Cool, Assert, Look, Mean it) for handling bullying and maintaining confidence. She closes with a powerful message: friendship and social competence aren’t genetic — they’re teachable, repeatable, and essential for life. Unlocked reminds listeners that while technology and pressure may change, one truth remains: friendship — real, human, imperfect friendship — is what makes us resilient. Grounds for Thought is an expansion on friendship and children.
