Course overview
Lesson Overview

7.23 – Helping Kids Handle Peer Rejection or Exclusion: Rejection is painful at any age, but children often interpret it as personal failure. Helping them cope starts with validating the hurt instead of minimizing it. Parents can teach that not everyone will connect, and that’s okay. Focusing on qualities that make the child unique builds self-worth. Encouraging participation in new activities expands their circle of belonging. Discussing empathy and kindness prepares them to treat others better when roles reverse. It’s essential to remind children that rejection does not define their value. Building emotional resilience in these moments prevents long-term insecurity. When guided well, these experiences become steppingstones to emotional maturity. Teaching healthy boundaries after rejection fosters self-respect and independence. Over time, children learn to seek friendships based on mutual kindness, not approval.
