Peer pressure starts earlier than most people think and it’s not just about drugs or drinking. It can be as subtle as “They all laughed, so I did too.” Or “I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want them to be mad at me.” Or “Everyone in the group chat said it, so I did too.” In Chapter 7 of Big Kids, Bigger Feelings, we go beyond surface behavior to unpack what peer pressure really feels like inside your child’s nervous system, and how to coach them through it without shame, lectures, or fear. You’ll get clear language, co-regulation strategies, and scripts for helping your child move from peer compliance to personal confidence. 🛒 Preorder your copy today! COMMENT: BOOK
