Advice History
Peer Pressure
One of the ways to combat negative peer pressure is to enforce trust in your kids. Let them know that trust goes two-ways. Give them opportunities to prove to you that they can be trusted to make difficult decisions and also let them know that they can trust you to let them. This will teach them the skills and strength to say no when they know something is dangerous. Peer pressure can often times be more powerful than a parent but a strong, trustworthy parent will create strong, confident kids who can make independent decisions without being pressured into something they don?t want to do.
