[quote=Anonymous]Tell her that being brave means standing up to friends, and respecting yourself means that you follow your own conscience even when friends tell you to do something different. That is probably one of life's most important lessons. You might want to listen to this song with her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk2NvNPzgv4 (The Courage Song) I feel like there are some books that might be appropriate but I'm sort of blanking on good suggestions -- here are two that might be appropriate: Courage by Bernard Waber or The Story of Ruby Bridges by Robert Coles. Or go see the movie Wonder, in which (spoiler alert) there is a character that sees the child that no one else will talk to, and gets up to cross the lunch room to sit with him because she says she'd rather have "nice friends." There's another child that caves to peer pressure, but then feels terrible about it.[/quote]
