Friendship, Peer Pressure & Social Confidence
Helping your child build strong friendships and resist unhealthy influence
How friendships form and fracture across childhood. Help your child stand on their own without standing alone.
Social belonging is the most powerful force in a child's life — more motivating than parental approval, more compelling than academic goals. This course helps parents understand how friendship works at each developmental stage, why peer pressure is so hard to resist, and what they can actually do to help their child build genuine social confidence. From the playground to the sixth form common room, this course covers the conversations, skills and strategies that matter.
