This week we have been learning in class about the ability to say "No" to friends. Standing up to peer pressure is not always easy for kids. this is why we have been practicing different ways to say "No" when someone asks them to do something bad, dangerous, or harmful.
Discussing your family's values and beliefs at home with your kids will help them know when they have to say "No". Explain that you expect them to say "No" in situations involving usafe choices, such as a friend asking them to play with cigarrettes, or matches.
You might want to be very clear on the consequences of breaking safety and healthy rules; also, it is good to practice how to say "No" in a clear and assertive way.
