Peer pressure starting on my first,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Question: My son is going into first grade and already the peer pressure is starting. Who has the cool clothes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], carry the "right" water bottle. How do I keep his self-esteem intact while letting him know that we can't afford all those things? I remember the shame of wearing hand-me-downs and never having the right things. Memories of school are filled with anxiety and shame and I want my son to have a better experience than I did.
Barbara Meltz: Back to school,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Children at this age are often just noticing things: John has brown hair and mine is black. But it doesn't mean that they are ascribing value to what they notice (John's hair is better than mine) or coming to conclusions as a result (John is smarter).
In these cases,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the trick is to be a good reflective listener: "Oh,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so John wears XX sneakers." In other words,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], your baggage is showing. It's one thing for you to be sensitive to a child,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], quite another to impose your baggage on him. On the other hand,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if he is actually putting these statements out there -- John's sneakers are cool and mine aren't; John's water bottle is better than mine,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I want that one -- it's fine for you to acknowledge differences in a non-judgmental way.
For instance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "every family is different. In John's family,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they wear XX sneakers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in our family,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we wear XY. What sneakers does Tim's family wear?" At some point,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it is appropriate to talk about what families can afford. I would base that on a child's ability to grasp these differences of all kinds,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and try hard to keep it a matter-of-fact conversation.
