One of the continuing questions that I receive concerns the influences that a child receives from their peers. Let's be straight here, there is absolutely nothing you can do about it! At some point in their lives your child will value the thoughts and ideas of the people that they associate with much more than they value your thoughts and ideas. Let's face it, those ideations and influences begin in daycare and progress throughout you child's life. Direct confrontation is a relationship killer! That is not to say that you should sacrifice your values to match the the ideas that peers propose to your child, but I do propose that your child will always "come home" if you are constant and continuous in your message of acceptance and love.
