Curious children and the paradox of assertiveness

Assertiveness can be exceptionally complex, yet also fascinating. Find out why!

Children aged 10 to 12 have a natural curiosity and a desire to explore the world around them. However, paradoxically, it is during this time that they may feel insecure about expressing their opinions and feelings. Assertiveness teaches them that it is okay to be curious and ask questions, but also that they have the right to their own opinions and feelings. Through games and creative activities, we can develop their assertive skills and enable them to better navigate their curiosity and doubts. This way, children learn that their opinions are valuable and deserve to be heard, which leads to healthy self-esteem.
