Description

Summary of the lesson

The topic "Peer Pressure" is about the kind of influence friends have in our life. This influence can be positive or negative. It is essential not to get pressured by peers and give into doing something that isn't good for them. To help the child understand this concept, we did some case studies, discussed real-life experiences, and put the child through challenging situations to derive their decision.

 

What your child will learn 

• Not to be influenced by their peers and figure out ways to say "No" to their  friends without being rude or jeopardising their friendship.
• To take decisions after assimilating their convenience or availability.

How is it going to help your child 

• Not blindly follow and do what others are doing.
• Differentiate between positive and negative influences.
• Make the right decisions for themselves.
• Take a stand for themselves and say “No” when needed.

Parental role & play 

 

Motivate by giving personal examples:  You can talk to your child about a few real-life instances that happened to you and how they affected your decisions and life. Tell them that it’s okay to say “NO” and nobody will judge you. If you reason with your friends, they will understand your point of view. 

 

Try it out: If your child comes across a similar situation, ask them to think about the pros and cons and make the decisions. Ask them, “what’s the right thing to do and why?”

 

What to expect 

Expect your child to be more vocal about his/her thoughts and reason with you and their friends for every decision they make.

 

Psychology insight 

It’s a myth that Peer pressure is always negative. Peer pressure can be a powerful tool to encourage each other to do what is right. It also helps in scoring better and working harder and smarter.
