Assertiveness

Assertiveness is crucial for kids. It builds confidence, self-esteem, and resilience. It also acts as a guard against harmful behaviours such as bullying.

Assertiveness allows kids to be considerate of others while minding their own needs. It permits them to speak up for themselves with confidence without fear of what others may think or say.

Integral to assertiveness is the acknowledgment that our kids are not responsible for managing the emotions of others. They are responsible only for managing their own in a manner that communicates confidence and respect.

Assertiveness requires a healthy understanding of boundaries, for others as well as oneself. By understanding boundaries, kids know when to say “no” to others, as well as appreciating when their communication may tend toward passivity or aggressiveness.

The Superpower of Assertiveness will teach your child to communicate in a healthy, assertive manner. They’ll learn about boundaries and how to articulate their needs while respecting the needs of others.
