For some kids, the playground is a place of fun and friendship. For others, it is a source of anxiety and fear. The fear of being left out.
Why do some kids struggle to make friends while others do not? And what can grown ups do to help?
We take an in-depth look with Why Will No One Play With Me? author Caroline Maguire. We also talk about the realities of adult friendships with NPR's Julia Furlan.
