Is it okay not to like people?

Tracey and Cayly are tackling this question in this week’s episode of the podcast, talking about their own experiences of not liking people and times they haven’t been liked by others. Tracey also offers some great advice on what to say to kids who are being excluded, and explains why she doesn’t think we should force kids to include everyone all the time.

This conversation is full of great insights, both for adults interacting with each other and for parents trying to help their kids navigate sometimes tricky social environments.

Piquing Our Curiosity:

Meat (http://meatforcatsanddogs.com/), a pet supply store here in Portland, specializing in “raw food and holistic diets for cats and dogs.” This place is wonderful and I highly recommend checking them out, particularly if you are interested in learning more about raw food diets for your pets. I transitioned my cat to a raw food diet several years ago and never could have done it without the nice folks at Meat talking me through the process (and giving me free samples many different times.) The folks here are the best. Check them out online here to learn more.
