Guide Your Child onto the Path of Assertiveness Use these tips to put your kids on the path to assertiveness
1.Teach about manners and behaviour Teaching your children manners and how to behave in school and social situations is an important part of being a parent.
2.Be a good role model for your children As a parent, you teach by example in a lot of cases, particularly with skills and character traits that aren’t quite as tangible.
3. Tell your children to speak up when they want something Your kids feel bad for being shy, but make sure they have a comfortable environment to say what they want instead.
4. Show your kids that it’s okay to be assertive in social situations Examples include asking for a refill on their water out to lunch. There’s a difference between being assertive and being rude, so make sure your child understands. Remember, a request can still be assertive without sounding aggressive.
5. Don’t punish your child’s personality If your child is naturally shy and reserved it may be difficult for them to be assertive. Don’t punish them – work with them instead to become more assertive over time, even if it doesn’t happen overnight. They’ll get it if you continue to work with them in a positive, open manner.
