Parenting tips to make your kids outsmart peer pressure
Peer pressure significantly impacts young individuals, influencing decisions from homework to trends. Developing strong decision-making skills is crucial for navigating these pressures and fostering confidence. Experts emphasize the importance of open communication, role-playing and value identification to empower children to make independent choices aligned with their beliefs, both at home and in school. Peer pressure insidiously shapes the lives of young people but it is not always the dramatic, negative influence that we imagine from cautionary tales. Sometimes, peer pressure is simply passing on a homework assignment because 'everyone else' is, or raving about a TV show they don't actually like as a way to fit in. Over time, these seemingly minor decisions can wear down a respect for their own decision-making and independent thought process. In our increasingly networked world, peer influence has already crossed the line between physical space and cyberspace; untested decisions can sweep far beyond the classroom. The young readers can observe how quickly a trend can blow up on their phones and how instantly they can be affected by a "viral" individual. Here, it is pertinent to note that good decision-making techniques are not just helpful ; they are paramount for navigating such rapid influences. Children imitate peer behaviour to feel a sense of belonging In a 2024 PubMed cross-sectional study of 355 adolescents (aged 16–18) from Karnataka, researchers found that nearly 44% of students were significantly influenced by peers, which was statistically linked to behavioural changes. The data highlights the powerful role of peer influence during adolescence and underscores the need for strategies that enhance awareness and personal agency. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure Your Child's Future with Strong English Fluency Planet Spark Learn More Undo Children who can manage emotions (like fear of rejection or embarrassment) are better at resisting pressure. (Image: Pexels) Peer pressure is a harsh reality that almost every child faces at some point in life. Whether it is being encouraged to buy a fancy gadget, choosing the type of chocolate to distribute at a birthday party in school, or deciding what clothes to purchase, children often follow trends that go against their values or engage in risky behaviour just to 'fit in.' As children grow, with media exposure and constant interaction with peers, their desire for social acceptance can cloud their judgment. Considering these challenges in development and overall growth, building strong decision-making skills becomes essential not only for academic success but also for lifelong confidence and integrity. Decision-making is more than simply choosing right from wrong. It means stopping to think for a moment, considering the repercussions of their actions and checking how their decisions align with personal values. In an interview with TOI, Dr Alka Kapur, Principal at Modern Public School in Delhi's Shalimar Bagh, suggested, "Children must be made to feel that they have a say in a secure environment in order to become independent thinkers. This must not be discouraged either in schools or at home. Children should be encouraged to express opinions even if they do not align with the opinions of the majority. Children can build confidence in their thinking if we build a habit of listening to them." Children shift judgments under peer pressure Authored by Thiyam Kiran Singh and Payal Kanwar Chandel in the International Journal of Indian Psychology , a 2022 review described how adolescents often emulate their peers — ranging from benign behaviours to risky ones — primarily due to the desire to fit in. The authors recommended interventions focused on assertiveness training, future planning and active dialogue, empowering students to resist negative peer influence while retaining social connection. Helping children balance and navigate peer pressure begins both at home and at school. Parents and teachers play a key role in teaching children how to identify peer pressure and stop it at the right stage. Commenting on the same, Nirvaan Birla, Managing Director at Birla Open Minds, shared, "Pressure can be direct, such as a friend urging them to break a rule because it looks bold and cool. It can also be subtle, such as feeling left out for making a different choice or experiencing FOMO (fear of missing out). Recognising pressure is the first step toward resisting it effectively." In a classic American Journal of Public Health study, over 770 students in grades 5–8 reported receiving dares or challenges from peers — often involving risky behaviour. Half of these dares could lead to physical harm or encourage unsafe habits. Peer pressure peaked in 8th grade, illustrating the pressing need for early resilience-building and decision-making skills. Tips on positive peer tutoring Birla advised, "From a young age, children should be encouraged by parents and teachers to identify and articulate their values. When children are clear about what matters to them, such as honesty, kindness, or safety, they are more likely to make choices that align with those values even in the face of social pressure. Parents and educators can guide this process by asking reflective questions like 'What do you think is the right thing to do?' or 'How would you feel about this choice tomorrow?' Children build internal decision-making strength by reflecting on past choices, not just being punished for them. (Image: Pexels) Role-playing is often a powerful tool. Dr Kapur explained, "Role-plays enable kids to practise potential reactions so that they prepare themselves for actual situations, where they might get pressured. It is equally important to instruct kids about saying "no" without losing friendships. Moreover, when children observe adults in their world making wise decisions and discussing their reasoning while adhering to values, children learn that independent thinking is a strength and not an act of rebellion. " Echoing that role-modelling scenarios is an effective strategy, Birla opined, "Practicing responses to peer pressure, such as saying 'no' with confidence, suggesting alternatives, or simply walking away, helps children feel prepared when real-life situations arise. The more they rehearse, the more natural these responses will become." Building decision-making skills also means encouraging children to make choices and experience the consequences in a safe and supportive environment. This does not mean letting them fail without guidance but rather using mistakes as opportunities to learn. When a child makes a poor choice due to peer influence, it is more constructive to ask, 'What led to that decision?' instead of criticising. Parents should always maintain a balance between correction and constructive questioning while practicing patience. Open, non-judgmental discourse at home can promote children to share what is at stake in their world. Ultimately, our goal is not to shield them from every influence but to help them navigate those influences with self-respect, courage and clarity. That's a lesson they will hold with them forever, even after the school years.

Direct and indirect speech explained: A practical guide for students to convert sentences accurately
Understanding how to convert direct speech into indirect speech is a fundamental skill in English grammar. This ability not only enhances your writing but also prepares you for various competitive exams. In this guide, we'll explore the rules and provide examples to help you master this skill. What is Direct Speech? Direct speech involves quoting someone's exact words. These words are enclosed in quotation marks. Example: She said, 'I am going to the market.' In this sentence, the exact words spoken by the person are quoted directly. What is Indirect Speech? Indirect speech, also known as reported speech, involves conveying the meaning of someone's words without quoting them directly. It requires changes in pronouns, verb tenses, and time expressions. Example: She said that she was going to the market. Here, the essence of the message is retained, but the exact words are not quoted. Key differences between Direct and Indirect Speech Feature Direct Speech Indirect Speech Quotation Marks Yes No Pronouns As per the speaker's words Changed according to the reporting subject Verb Tense As per the speaker's words Often backshifted (changed to past tense) Time Expressions As per the speaker's words Adjusted to fit the reporting context Rules for converting Direct Speech to Indirect Speech Change of Pronouns: Pronouns in direct speech are changed to match the perspective of the reporting speaker. Example: Direct: He said, 'I will help you.' Indirect: He said that he would help me. Change of Tense: When the reporting verb is in the past tense, the tense of the direct speech is usually shifted back. Direct Tense Indirect Tense Present Simple Past Simple Present Continuous Past Continuous Present Perfect Past Perfect Past Simple Past Perfect Past Continuous Past Perfect Continuous Future Simple Conditional (would) Example: Direct: She says, 'I am reading a book.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Many Filipinos don't know about this! Read More Undo Indirect: She says that she is reading a book. (No change in tense as the reporting verb is in present tense) Direct: She said, 'I am reading a book.' Indirect: She said that she was reading a book. Change of time expressions: Time expressions in direct speech are adjusted to fit the reporting context. Direct Time Expression Indirect Time Expression today that day tomorrow the next day yesterday the previous day now then here there Example: Direct: She said, 'I will call you tomorrow.' Indirect: She said that she would call me the next day. Change of reporting verb: The reporting verb may change based on the context and the nature of the statement. Example: Direct: He said, 'I am tired.' Indirect: He mentioned that he was tired. Special cases Imperative sentences: When converting imperative sentences, the reporting verb changes to 'tell,' 'order,' 'advise,' etc., and the sentence structure changes accordingly. Example: Direct: She said, 'Close the door.' Indirect: She told me to close the door. Interrogative sentences: For yes/no questions, 'if' or 'whether' is used. For WH-questions, the question word is retained. Examples: Direct: He asked, 'Are you coming?' Indirect: He asked if I was coming. Direct: She asked, 'Where are you going?' Indirect: She asked where I was going. Exclamatory sentences: Exclamatory sentences are reported using expressions like 'exclaimed,' 'cried,' 'wondered,' etc., and the exclamation mark is omitted. Example: Direct: She said, 'What a beautiful day!' Indirect: She exclaimed that it was a beautiful day. Practice exercise Convert the following direct speech sentences into indirect speech: Direct: He said, 'I have completed my homework.' Indirect: He said that he had completed his homework. Direct: She asked, 'Will you attend the meeting?' Indirect: She asked if I would attend the meeting. Direct: They said, 'We are planning a trip.' Indirect: They said that they were planning a trip. Direct: He said, 'I will call you when I arrive.' Indirect: He said that he would call me when he arrived. Direct: She said, 'I am learning to play the guitar.' Indirect: She said that she was learning to play the guitar.
