3. Assertiveness We may not be sure about what rights we actually have Sometimes we do not realise that there is an alternative to pleasing others or being aggressive Experiences as a child & young adult – can affect assertiveness long term From an early age, by doing what others want us to do we are often praised. We may lack confidence or have low self esteem. Cultures and belief systems often discourage assertiveness. Why don’t we assert ourselves?

4. Creating a positive ethos and climate Remember: All adults in the classroom are role models

5. Do you have emotional buttons? Press 1 for anger Press 2 for tears Press 3 for getting sent out Press 4 for an argument

9. Prevention Look for the signs of boredom Discuss behaviour, when its good and when it’s bad Do not focus attention on the negative behaviour A quiet word is better than a loud one
