How to help your child resist peer pressure

This video offers tips to parents on how to teach their kids to protect themselves from negative peer pressure.

As kids get older, they may be pressured to take part in activities they don't really want to do, such as drinking, smoking, cheating, or cutting class. Parents can talk to children about recognizing uncomfortable feelings when they're under pressure and how to say no to those who pressure them. This video is most appropriate for parents of children in fourth grade, fifth grade, and middle school.
