When
children are in a school where the children called "cool" are in
smoking and other risky behaviors , it can be hard to make or keep
friends , especially when integration may seem like the most important
thing.
While most of us tend to think of peer pressure as something external , the truth is that many children spend an internal pressure on themselves , away from the influence of peers .
The pressure to fit in is when children have to start at a new school . Start from scratch in any school can be difficult, but the beginning of a new high school is particularly difficult because many friendships have been established from primary school . The desire to try everything to fit can be overwhelming . For this reason , I recommend that parents try some different tactics while to help ease the transition of a child.
• Keep communication open . Talk with your child and encourage you to share how you feel, even if those feelings are " lonely", "fear", "angry " or " left -out. " Your child is able to put a brave face as school and needs an outlet where it can only be real.
• Do not paint a rainbow. The last thing your daughter wants to hear ( even if true ) is that " get better " or "Hold" or " If you do not like for who you are not worth having as friends."
• Develop a plan. Work on strategies with your child about how he could make friends. This may mean joining a sports team or academic club , perhaps pointing to someone and ask them out , or even get to talk to someone about music or preparation.
• Talk with your child about smoking . Ask what you think of kids who smoke or why she thinks smoking is very popular at this school. Be sure to mention the health risks and long-term consequences of a fair decision "prove" to smoke.
• Ask your child what qualities he likes in a friend are . Make a list . Is " caving " or " defend itself " from the list ? It's probably not enough to deter peer pressure , but can help your child outside and evaluate their actions and what qualities you bring to the table as a friend are .
Make friends and ride in a process. Check the above steps often and let your child know that you believe in your ability to stay true to who they are and make friends.
