2. Teaching your children manners and
how to behave in school and social
situations is an important part of being
a parent.

behaviour

3. As a parent, you teach by
example in a lot of cases,
particularly with skills and
character traits that aren’t
quite as tangible.
2. Be a good role model for your
children

4. Your kids feel bad for being
shy, but make sure they have a
comfortable environment to
say what they want instead.
3. Tell your children to speak up
when they want something

5. Examples include asking for a
refill on their water out to
lunch. There’s a difference
between being assertive and
being rude, so make sure your
child understands. Remember, a
request can still be assertive
without sounding aggressive.
4. Show your kids that it’s okay to be
assertive in social situations

6. If your child is naturally shy and
reserved it may be difficult for
them to be assertive. Don’t punish
them – work with them instead to
become more assertive over time,
even if it doesn’t happen
overnight. They’ll get it if you
continue to work with them in a
positive, open manner.
5. Don’t punish your child’s
personality
