Everyone is different and there are some children that simply are not and never will be assertive. And thats ok. We are all different.

Thank you, this is very helpful.

Very useful tips! With a daughter with speech delay and communication problems as well as delayed motor skills – this info is crucial to me in preparing her for school. Some ideas i hadnt thought of! Thank you.

Excellent advice and those 5 words will be used over and over in many other situations too.

Thanks Sonja – this is good and sensible advice and this is what we have always done with the kids and taught the kids. Being assertive is a positive action for kids and adults.

Loving all this advice, its a great help.

lol be assertive to your child and they will demonstrate it back to you lol.
