Dr Damon Thomas, Senior Lecturer in the School of Education at the University of Queensland had a chat with Jess McGuire from @abcaustralia NSW Drive yesterday to talk all things friends for Oxford's Australian Children's 2024 Word of the Year!
"When you look at the context of this, since about the year 2008 there has been a real increase in the number of young Australians who are experiencing loneliness.
Children in their writing, much more than previous years, they’re talking about friendship... related words like playing, love, hope, game... which suggest that they’re more aware of friendship and the importance of friendship."
