Answer 1

Peer groups have positive and negative influences on them.

Explanation:

Peer groups have positive and negative influences on children. The positives include the child getting and giving attention and acceptance, developing standards that serve as guidelines, healthy competition, etc., which encourages the child to grow beautifully. However, some children are dominant, and others are submissive, so negative influences such as teasing, physical aggression, and rejection also happen, which can have a bad influence on them.
