In 4th and 5th grade, students are learning to combat negative peer pressure by learning and practicing the Big 10. These are ten strategies for dealing effectively with peer pressure. They are: 1. Just Say No 2. Leave 3. Ignore 4. Make an Excuse 5. Change the Subject 6. Make a Joke 7. Act Shocked 8. Use Flattery 9. Give a Better Idea and 10. Return the Challenge
We'll practice using each strategy by developing role plays to demonstrate them. It is my hope that all students will feel confident in standing up for themselves and living by one of my favorite quotes: "What is popular isn't always right. What is right isn't always popular."
Please take some time to discuss these strategies with your child and as always, thank you for your continued support.
