from aVERY BRIGHT LIFE · host Lisa Thornbury
This episode is about friends. Not the 1990s TV show, but actual real life friends—making them and keeping them. It can be so difficult for kids with disabilities or who are different to fit in. Especially when they're faced with the "Bad Behaviour Bubble." Lisa shares a few examples of when Avery was ignored or teased in the playground and tells the story of a friendship that changed dramatically as Avery's former best friend enter the BBB (that's just me trying to start a trend by abbreviating the Bad Behaviour Bubble). She also reads the unexpected and beautiful message she received from Avery's former classmate. **** This podcast was recorded in Garageband (sometimes in a blanket fort) and edited by Lisa Thornbury.
