Dealing with Peer Pressure - Parent 3

Your child is participating in classroom activities focused on learning how to deal with peer pressure. We would love for you to keep the discussion going at home!

Definition: Peer pressure is when an individual close to your age attempts to influence your decisions in a positive or negative way.

Student Goal: When presented with a negative peer pressure situation, the student will use a rehearsed phrase to say no.

Here are just a few ideas to help get the conversation started:

• Is all peer pressure negative?
• How should we handle peer pressure?
• Belonging to a group can be a positive experience.
• Belonging to a group can also be a negative experience.
• Allow your child to share examples of when they encountered peer pressure.
