Conscious Discipline Parent Tips

Assertive Voice- The skill of assertiveness is an important skill for adults and children. Without assertiveness, our students do not know where limits or boundaries are and may feel unsafe. They may struggle with things like bullying or having confidence in their own abilities. Assertiveness helps children say no and be heard. When we use the skill of assertiveness it prevents the passive aggressive flip flop and tells children exactly what we want. They, in turn, learn to say exactly what they want and be able to take care of themselves.
