Do you think that influence has been positive (good for you) or negative (bad for you)? Why? - Have you ever been in a situation where a friend tried to pressure you to do something you didn't want to do? What happened? - What three words would you use to describe the five (or so) friends you spend the most time with? Do you think those three words also describe you? Why or why not? - Dr. Friendtastic said, “However your friends might influence or even pressure you, you’re in charge of deciding what’s the right thing for you to do.” What does that mean? *** You might also like these podcast episodes: Ep. 16 - Sam, Age 13: Joining a new group of friends https://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/kids-ask-dr-friendtastic-ep-16-sam Ep. 36 - Ann, Age 9: Dealing with peer pressure https://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/ann-age-9-dealing-with-peer-pressure Ep. 43 - Beatrix, Age 8: Friend cut her hair! https://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/beatrix-age-8-friend-cuts-her-hair Get full access to Dr. Friendtastic for Parents at drfriendtastic.substack.com/subscribe
