Answer:
Explanation:
Peers are people who are part of the same social group, so the term "peer pressure" means the influence that peers can have on each other. Although peer pressure does not necessarily have to be negative, the term "pressure" implies that the process influences people to do things that may be resistant to, or might not otherwise choose to do.
So usually the term "peer pressure" is used when people are talking about behaviors that are not considered socially acceptable or desirable, such as experimentation with alcohol or drugs. The term "peer pressure" is not usually used to describe socially desirable behaviors, such as exercising or studying.
Parents are rarely concerned about peer pressure to engage in sports or exercise, as these are typically seen as healthy social behaviors. This is appropriate, as long as the exercise or sport does not become an unhealthy way of coping, excessive to the point of negatively affecting their health, or dangerous (as in dangerous sports).
Rather than worrying about the effects of your children's friendships, parents would do well to focus on creating a positive, supportive home environment, free of addictive behaviors and without access to alcohol or other drugs.
Role modeling good emotional self-regulation will also reduce your child's risk of developing addictions. Self-regulation involves the ability to control thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in order to manage current behavior and achieve long-term goals.
This will teach your child positive ways of solving problems and coping with uncomfortable feelings, rather than trying to escape into addictive behaviors and substances for temporary, unpredictable relief from emotional or physical pain.
