"Tomboy"
Hosts Bronwin Parks and Elinor Svoboda explore how the social constructs of the classroom changed in grade four. They reflect on how they both felt less accepted within social circles with friends that were boys, despite identifying as “tomboys”.
The hosts welcome Elinor’s eight-year-old son for some discussion, classmates, and clinical psychologist Dr. Kate Thomson helps them dig into the question “Where Do I Belong” in relation to middle childhood.
Bronwin and Elinor are left to wonder: Did anyone feel like they belonged?
