KQED: Seeking Parent Stories on Friendship Breakups

Hello BPN Network,

My name is Nimah Gobir, and I'm a journalist at KQED. I work with MindShift, where we share educational stories for teachers and parents, focusing on solutions and support.

I’m currently reporting a story on how parents can support their children during friendship breakups, and we’d love to hear from you. If you’ve experienced a moment when your child was struggling with a friend, we’re inviting you to share that experience for a potential inclusion in an upcoming MindShift episode!

Guidelines: Please try to bring us into that moment by describing it in as much detail as you can. How did it feel for you and your child? What were some key things you noticed?

You can leave a 30-second voice message at (510)545-2767, and it can remain anonymous. Please include your child’s age, and if you’re open to a follow-up, feel free to include your name and contact information. You’re also welcome to email me at ngobir [at] kqed.org.

Thank you so much for considering this! Your stories mean a lot and will help other parents navigating similar experiences.

Warmly,
Nimah Gobir
Journalist, MindShift KQED
