🛠️ Practice Responses
Teach simple ways to say no, like:
-
“No thanks.”
-
“That’s not for me.”
-
“My parents wouldn’t be okay with that.”

👥 Know Their Circle
Get to know their friends and encourage positive friendships.
💪 Build Confidence
Support their interests and remind them it’s okay to be different.
