R-E-S-P. . .O-N-D!
How do you respond to the important things in life? Our responses in life, to the words people say and the things they do, can be critical; as many of our girls are learning firsthand. This is why our topics last week were SO important, as we spent time talking about peer pressure and standing up for yourself. The girls not only had some great discussions about what peer pressure is and ways that they may experience it, but they learned a strategy for how to deal with it... make sure to ask your Girl on the Run about SBLR! We also talked about how to be strong and assertive as we used four key phrases that will enable the girls to express what they are feeling and stand up for themselves. Emotions ran high during our practice activity, giving the girls a great opportunity to utilize their four key phrases!
