Peer pressure can be a killer (unfortunately, literally at times).

To counter peer pressure the real experts propose:
1) Make sure they know they are loved and their parents (esp. Dad) have time for them
2) Get them involved in an activity where they get positive feedback. Depending on the child, that means sport, music or a pet (not everyone can do sport and get a positive feedback from it).

That way the child does not have to rely on his peer group for emotional support and fulfillment.

Looks like you are doing pretty well, Marshall!!

You have a great lad there. All the best.

Admiral – At lacrosse season, I can yell at the teenagers all I want. It’s hard to see mistakes and not scream out corrections. When Kyle is playing lacrosse, it’s worse, because I know so much about that sport.

E.L. – We give him and Erik 30 minutes of video games, a few times a week. No more. The good thing is that Kyle plays organized soccer, hockey, and lacrosse. Erik plays organized soccer and will be playing hockey later this year. They’re active enough, and that makes me happy.

Sounds like Kyle had a ball, while Dad had all he could do to sit and behave
It’s really nice to know some kids still like playing sports and getting out, instead of sitting in front of a computer game.
