Spot the Pressure

Ages 8–11 · 10 minutes · You’ll need: Nothing

Most people are kind, but some push with tricks, in person and online. Once you can name a trick, it loses its power.

From our book Steady, chapter 9: Guarding against toxic influences.

How it works

Read messages from “friends” and name the trick: a guilt trip, flattery, “everyone’s doing it”, a threat, or a fair request.
