RUSH TRANSCRIPT Well it ░░░░░░░░ natural and healthy to ░░░░░░░░ friends or it was ░░░░░░░░ as it s natural ░░░░░░░░ healthy to have a ░░░░░░░░ favorite friend That s ░░░░░░░░ we thought Something being ░░░░░░░░ doesn t mean somebody ░░░░░░░░ t find a way ░░░░░░░░ ban it In a ░░░░░░░░ article psychologist Barbara Greenberg ░░░░░░░░ efforts by schools in ░░░░░░░░ country and Europe to ░░░░░░░░ best friends You can ░░░░░░░░ make it up She ░░░░░░░░ the existence of best ░░░░░░░░ is exclusionary which is ░░░░░░░░ by definition and causes ░░░░░░░░ distress A psychotherapist joining ░░░░░░░░ now Thanks for coming ░░░░░░░░ Hi Tucker I want ░░░░░░░░ take this seriously The ░░░░░░░░ you laugh at are ░░░░░░░░ that become federal law ░░░░░░░░ you know it Having ░░░░░░░░ best friend is by ░░░░░░░░ exclusionary right You re ░░░░░░░░ one among many But ░░░░░░░░ doesn t make it ░░░░░░░░ Marriage is also exclusionary ░░░░░░░░ it s a plural ░░░░░░░░ That s not bad ░░░░░░░░ So exclusionary isn t ░░░░░░░░ bad Why is having ░░░░░░░░ best friend bad Well ░░░░░░░░ think what s happening ░░░░░░░░ the trend across America ░░░░░░░░ in public and private ░░░░░░░░ and in Europe and ░░░░░░░░ Canada is that many ░░░░░░░░ are starting to adopt ░░░░░░░░ mandate that children have ░░░░░░░░ behaviors in schools certain ░░░░░░░░ policy for lack of ░░░░░░░░ better word And it ░░░░░░░░ meant to teach kids ░░░░░░░░ be polite to one ░░░░░░░░ It s men to ░░░░░░░░ manners It s meant ░░░░░░░░ encourage diversity and tolerance ░░░░░░░░ the people who are ░░░░░░░░ this kind of best ░░░░░░░░ policy are people who ░░░░░░░░ that it s not ░░░░░░░░ children how to deal ░░░░░░░░ negative social anxiety You ░░░░░░░░ the negative feelings that ░░░░░░░░ would feel if they ░░░░░░░░ excluded Tucker Okay I ░░░░░░░░ the magic place here ░░░░░░░░ actually someplace in the ░░░░░░░░ Tucker Why would the ░░░░░░░░ place just be stay ░░░░░░░░ of it and kind ░░░░░░░░ teach English and history ░░░░░░░░ math I Tolly hear ░░░░░░░░ you re saying Many ░░░░░░░░ have a no tolerance ░░░░░░░░ to bullying It s ░░░░░░░░ way to encourage children ░░░░░░░░ be nice to each ░░░░░░░░ It s a way ░░░░░░░░ encourage manners Tucker I ░░░░░░░░ let me just say ░░░░░░░░ m totally for that ░░░░░░░░ m totally for tolerance ░░░░░░░░ good manners Yeah Anybody ░░░░░░░░ for compassion and kindness ░░░░░░░░ Sure But it does ░░░░░░░░ like oeu owe it ░░░░░░░░ t seem like it ░░░░░░░░ a form of insidious ░░░░░░░░ control to try and ░░░░░░░░ other people who to ░░░░░░░░ friends with I mean ░░░░░░░░ would want to tell ░░░░░░░░ who to be friends ░░░░░░░░ in the first place ░░░░░░░░ you think it s ░░░░░░░░ little weird I don ░░░░░░░░ necessarily think they re ░░░░░░░░ people which friends they ░░░░░░░░ have They re encouraging ░░░░░░░░ to have larger friend ░░░░░░░░ The problem is the ░░░░░░░░ of Virginia did a ░░░░░░░░ where they found and ░░░░░░░░ published this they found ░░░░░░░░ who did have best ░░░░░░░░ grew up to have ░░░░░░░░ positive mental health as ░░░░░░░░ became adults They also ░░░░░░░░ less social anxiety That ░░░░░░░░ the argument against this ░░░░░░░░ policy that a lot ░░░░░░░░ schools are mandating We ░░░░░░░░ to teach children to ░░░░░░░░ with negative feelings Right ░░░░░░░░ we numb the dark ░░░░░░░░ also numb the light ░░░░░░░░ we all need to ░░░░░░░░ children that everyone belongs ░░░░░░░░ don t want to ░░░░░░░░ any child ever feel ░░░░░░░░ or give them a ░░░░░░░░ of unbelonging in any ░░░░░░░░ of community Tucker Right ░░░░░░░░ guess I mean I ░░░░░░░░ totally opposed to meanness ░░░░░░░░ bullying obviously I am ░░░░░░░░ mean that But I ░░░░░░░░ think these issues are ░░░░░░░░ complex The kind of ░░░░░░░░ who teach school probably ░░░░░░░░ not equipped to handle ░░░░░░░░ issues better than say ░░░░░░░░ parents of the child ░░░░░░░░ guess as a parent ░░░░░░░░ resent the idea that ░░░░░░░░ I hired to teach ░░░░░░░░ kids facts is intruding ░░░░░░░░ really personal question likes ░░░░░░░░ you re friends with ░░░░░░░░ how many friends you ░░░░░░░░ Why don t they ░░░░░░░░ out of that stuff ░░░░░░░░ Well I wish all ░░░░░░░░ didn t have any ░░░░░░░░ of behavioral issues in ░░░░░░░░ But as someone who ░░░░░░░░ worked in the school ░░░░░░░░ kids do Oftentimes teachers ░░░░░░░░ put in a position ░░░░░░░░ help children learn how ░░░░░░░░ modify and control their ░░░░░░░░ so they do have ░░░░░░░░ policies on the books ░░░░░░░░ can have a bully ░░░░░░░░ rampant in their school ░░░░░░░░ Having a best friend ░░░░░░░░ not the same if ░░░░░░░░ want to spend your ░░░░░░░░ with one person that ░░░░░░░░ not the same as ░░░░░░░░ other people What would ░░░░░░░░ the remedy of telling ░░░░░░░░ kid you have to ░░░░░░░░ more friends How would ░░░░░░░░ fix something like that ░░░░░░░░ think they re trying ░░░░░░░░ avoid children having clicks ░░░░░░░░ what they do they ░░░░░░░░ to get children to ░░░░░░░░ with larger groups of ░░░░░░░░ and sort of run ░░░░░░░░ larger packs with each ░░░░░░░░ The thing that s ░░░░░░░░ interesting here is that ░░░░░░░░ can teach we can ░░░░░░░░ this in school and ░░░░░░░░ at home we can ░░░░░░░░ kids and we should ░░░░░░░░ kids to have close ░░░░░░░░ relationships with each other ░░░░░░░░ only is it good ░░░░░░░░ their health but as ░░░░░░░░ said it models a ░░░░░░░░ family unit moving forward ░░░░░░░░ well Tucker Yeah Last ░░░░░░░░ really quick Sure Tucker ░░░░░░░░ used to taught the ░░░░░░░░ in the classroom and ░░░░░░░░ them go outside As ░░░░░░░░ as there was no ░░░░░░░░ fire you didn t ░░░░░░░░ involved Why was that ░░░░░░░░ bad idea that model ░░░░░░░░ don t think it ░░░░░░░░ a bad idea but ░░░░░░░░ think times have changed ░░░░░░░░ is Tucker Certainly I ░░░░░░░░ in a community that ░░░░░░░░ not so far from ░░░░░░░░ town Unfortunately bad things ░░░░░░░░ in the world when ░░░░░░░░ start to feel socially ░░░░░░░░ We have to worry ░░░░░░░░ that Tucker But those ░░░░░░░░ didn t actually happen ░░░░░░░░ weird middle aged adults ░░░░░░░░ t get into the ░░░░░░░░ of kids I don ░░░░░░░░ know if there s ░░░░░░░░ connection or not I ░░░░░░░░ your point Thank you ░░░░░░░░
