In this powerful conversation, Dr. Phil sits down with award-winning journalists Bianna Golodryga (CNN) and Yonit Levi (Channel 12 Israel) to discuss their groundbreaking middle-grade novel, Don't Feed the Lion a story designed to help children recognize antisemitism, bullying, and bias before these ideas become ingrained.
They reveal why they wrote the book now, how the events of October 7 reshaped global conversations, and why children as young as eight are already encountering hate online and in their classrooms.
Dr. Phil explores the psychology behind early prejudice, how parents and educators can intervene, and why giving kids the language to respond, not freeze is critical. Together, they unpack the role of storytelling, allyship, and real-life "word power" in helping middle graders build courage, empathy, and critical thinking in an increasingly polarized world.
This episode is essential for parents, teachers, mental-health professionals, and anyone concerned about the future of our children and our culture.
