- Hey, yesterday's sleepover was so fun.
- Yeah, it was.
Oh, there's the new girl.
I think we should go say hi again.
- Yeah.
- Hi.
- Oh, hi.
I was wondering if you wanted to be our friend.
- That would be awesome.
(upbeat music)
- Hi, welcome to the Disney Princess Club.
- I'm Morgan. - I'm Elena.
- And I'm Leah.
And today we're going to be talking
about meeting new people and making new friends.
- It's tough being a new person at school
or the new person in the neighborhood.
You might wanna make new friends
and hope that people will welcome you.
- And you know what else can be tough.
Being open to meeting new friends.
Sometimes when you're the new person, you might be quiet
but if you're too quiet
it can make it harder to make new friends.
- Yeah, it's a combination of both.
You have to be open to meeting new people
as well as having some friendly people to talk to.
Hey, my parents said that after school, today
we can have a sleepover together.
- Yay.
- Maybe your mom can teach to be able to cook something
because I love to cook.
Yeah. If we can have samosas together.
- Yay. Hey, is that a new girl over there?
- Yeah, it is.
Oh, okay.
Misty and Jake.
Woo hoo.
(children playing)
- Hi.
- How are you doing? - Hi.
- My name is McKenna.
- I'm Elena Junior.
- I'm Sierra.
- Are you new here?
- What class are you in?
- I don't know yet. I'm new.
- Oh, okay.
Do you have any hobbies?
Yeah, I have, I have hobbies.
Oh, do you like dancing?
- That's fun.
- Oh, okay.
Okay. We're gonna go back to playing.
- Have fun.
- Oh, okay. Bye. - Okay. Bye.
- Dance party.
(children playing)
- Aha - Aha
- What the? That looks fun.
(sad music)
- High five. - High five.
- So what do you think we did? Good.
And what do you think could have gone better?
- I think we should've considered that this girl is doing
she obviously doesn't know many people.
And I think it would've been great
if they can invited her to come play
because that's always very helpful.
Or she asked to come play because when you're new
it's important to put in some work to make new friends.
- It can be scary if you're meeting two people
that are already friends.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- I feel like they could have been a lot more talkative.
That would probably help instead of saying two words.
- So like when you're asking,
"Hey do you have any hobbies?" that they say,
"Oh yeah, I have many hobbies, but I love to bake."
- Yeah.
- What do you think, Leah?
I feel like maybe adults could have introduced her
to some of our other friends.
- They should. - Yeah.
- That would've been awesome.
- Yeah. Do you have any experience
being a new kid someplace?
- Yes I have, actually in my neighborhood
the first time I went in my house,
I saw there was a neighbor, right.
Like on her bike, riding around our neighborhood.
And I was like, "Oh, hi, I like your bike.
It's really cute."
It was really cute.
And I met her and she was super kind. Yeah.
- One time I was visiting Japan to see my grandparents.
And I was really lucky enough to go
to a Japanese school there.
And I was pretty nervous, very nervous and a little excited
'cause back then my Japanese wasn't that good.
But luckily they were very kind and nice and opening.
- Yeah. - So I was able
- To make some really nice friends.
And I think that taking people
for who they are is a really good thing.
And they really showed me that.
- Yes. - Yeah.
- One similarity that all of us probably have
is about wanting to make friends.
- Yes. - Yes.
- And of course their love for Disney Princesses.
- Rapunzel really inspires me to make new friends
because when she was leaving her tower for the first time
she didn't know anybody.
- In one scene, she's going out to like the big area
where everybody is and it's really sweet moment
because she's like meeting all these little girls
and meeting a lot of friends
and they put flowers in her hair.
And you can just tell that they're already friends
and it's just so sweet.
- Rapunzel, She seems like if there's any Disney princess,
I'd wanna be my friend.
It would be Rapunzel.
- Yeah.
- Because she seems like such a great friend
and she really inspires me to be a better friend.
- Yeah.
- Well that was a great conversation
but let's put all the stuff that we just said
into playing with the dolls like the next day.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Hey, yesterday's sleepover was so fun.
- Yeah, it was.
Oh, there's the new girl.
I think we should go say hi again.
- Yeah.
- Hi. - Oh, hi.
- I was wondering if you wanted to be our friend.
- That would be awesome.
- So what are your hobbies?
- Well, I love to swim and to dance.
- Awesome. - Me too.
- I'm having a little party at my house this weekend.
Maybe you can come.
- That would be so fun.
Thank you for inviting me.
- And we're gonna be swimming there.
- Maybe I can show you some of my cool tricks in the pool.
- Of course. - For sure.
- Do you have any hobbies?
- Oh yeah. I love to bake.
- Me too. Sometimes we'll go over
to each other's house and bake together.
- What's your favorite thing to bake?
- Hm. I would say chocolate chip cookies.
- Mm I'm definitely gonna have to try one of those.
- Yay.
- Thanks for coming over here and talking to me.
Yesterday, I was just a little quiet, cause' I was new.
- We didn't even think about how you were feeling nervous.
We were just trying to have fun.
- Well, thank you.
I've had so much fun playing with you.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Hey, since you're new here
we would like to show you around the school.
- That would be great.
- Awesome.
- Wow. That new meeting was great.
- It was so fun.
- It was much better than the first one we did.
- It was great because they listened to each other.
And even though they had some differences
they were able to find things they had in common?
And in the end they became friends.
- Yeah.
- And they were going to meet each other
at the park and do other fun things together.
- And it was very cool how she didn't use like two words.
She actually started talking to them.
- And I love how they said
that they would show each other around
and we actually asked each other to be friends.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- So what have we learned
from talking about making new friends?
- Well, I learned that being open is really important.
- I think that being kind was one
of the biggest things that we did to all get along.
- And I think that finding similarities
between each other really helped us become friends.
- Yeah.
- Well, that's all the time we have today.
I hope you learned a lot
from this very important discussion on making friends.
I know I did.
- So did I. thank you both for sharing your stories.
It really helped me to understand how to better handle new
and sometimes unfamiliar situations.
- Yeah. It's about trying to understand
what someone else is feeling put yourself in their shoes.
It's like I said, it goes both ways.
- You're absolutely right.
Well, thank you all for watching today.
I'm Alina.
- I'm Leah.
- And I'm Morgan. Until next time.
