Episode 11. Friendship and Helping People

In this energetic episode, children introduce themselves, share interests, and explore ideas about helping others, friendship, and future life choices. The conversation moves from simple introductions and fun facts to deeper reflections on kindness, responsibility, and what it means to support people in everyday situations.

The children discuss helping others who feel left out, the value of sharing opportunities, and how small actions at school can shape confidence and belonging. They also talk about money, saving, and making thoughtful choices for the future, offering practical perspectives on spending and planning ahead.

Alongside this, the group explores imaginative ideas about superpowers, including teleportation and the ability to make wishes come true, showing how creativity shapes their thinking. Their reflections on friendship highlight inclusion, inviting others to play, and building confidence in new classmates.

The episode closes with encouragement, humour, music references, and affirming messages about self-worth, kindness, and not giving up, leaving a strong sense of positivity and connection.

Transcript

Oh, that's actually really cool! Hi Brianna, do you hear me? Yeah. Um, hi, my name is Noah and Dave. And a fun fact about myself is I really like art.

Okay, now you introduce yourself, Brianna. Hello. Yeah, um, helping people is good and you should really like, if like, you should really like, you should really, if someone is struggling, you should help them.

Because, let's say if they, if like, they have no job. They can have, they can get a job and one day you just got fired because, um, your company has gone bankrupt. Um, to be honest, I imagine if that person became your boss and you helped them, you get a position that is really good.

But if, let's say you didn't. They might be kind enough to give you a position, but if they, but sometimes they could just never read your resume and you may not get the same job. Yeah, and that person might be blowing all over social media and you regret what you did.

So, yeah, helping someone is really good. Can you give us answers, like questions? Oh, Brianna, you can go first. If I was an adult, um, I would have lots of money and then I would save it to get over a hundred.

She should probably save it for the future because she never knows if her house rent goes up and she spent all of that money on useless things, so I think she should invest it. I would not recommend, like, spending your money, like, on an Lamborghini and you don't know how to drive. Like, why would you spend, why, like, why would you spend all of your money, why would you spend all your money on something that you're not going to use? It's probably for you to flex, but I would just say buy something you're actually going to use.

So, maybe, if you can buy, like, like, if you're an adult, if you can buy, let's just say, if you know that you have money and you buy a car that's for, like, three thousand when you have, let's just say, fifty thousand in your bank account, that's good because then you'll have money to spend in the future. Let's say if you had a genie and he only gave you one wish, what would that wish be? Like, it could be a superpower, like, what would you wish for from a genie? Okay, actually, like, what would your superpower be? Teleport. My one would probably be, one of them will probably, um, one of them will probably, like, be able to see the future and then the other one will just be, like, whatever I say becomes true.

So, yeah. But I would choose the second option because whatever I say comes true, I, that power gives you every single power because whatever you say comes true. Like, I wish I had, um, I wish I had a slime maker.

Boom. Your wish just came true. Um, you wish you won ten, um, ten thousand euro.

Boom. Your wish is true. So, I would take the second option.

I know this because, um, I get taught a lot this and I get taught, like, big words so I use them in sentences. Yeah. And, like, I'm only nine so I'm impressed with myself.

Oh, what makes you a good friend? I help people and, and if, if people in my yard has no one to play with and they're on the bench, I ask them, do you want to play? It was her first day of school when we opened, like, three days after and then, like, she was new and, like, she didn't really know anybody and on the first day I asked her to become friends with me because we, because, like, because we hit it off, like, we were starting to, like, become best friends. And then she was lonely in the yard but then I asked her, do you want to play? And she said yes and we had a great time. So, I think that I helped her on her first day.

Now she's really confident. I think, um, the boys are on tomorrow. Yeah, the boys are on tomorrow.

So, basically, like, if the girls, if the girls are on and they catch every boy, like, yeah, they swap. But my friend, it was, like, three girls and four boys so I asked my friend if she wanted to play and she said yes. And, like, she's the boss of the game.

And everyone sees our game but, but, but it's unfair because if we have, like, six boys and five girls, like, that's, like, nah. But we have a good time. You are an amazing person.

Breaking Dishes by Rihanna. Oh, her songs are so fire. Rihanna, guess what? Have, have a happy, um, Christmas Eve because that's before Christmas.

So, have, um, a good... Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was in November. Um, you are an amazing person.

Don't forget that. Never give up. Um, you have the most best day ever.

Have a good rest of your day. Listen!
