Mary Gustafson, Neighbor

Being assertive is a life skill every kid needs to have to:  deal with bullies, negotiate, handle conflict, set boundaries, be taken seriously and have their neds met.  Parents will learn about the different communication styles and how to help their children be assertive in their words, voice and body language through role-playing and interactions.
