Children's social skills develop through assertiveness. Find out how to help them!
Assertiveness plays an important role in social interactions, especially during the transition to adolescence. Children aged 10 to 12 often try to find their place in a group, which is associated with the need to express themselves and be understood. Assertive behavior helps them build confidence, strengthens their relationships with peers, and helps them cope with peer pressure. Creating an environment where they feel safe expressing their opinions is crucial for their personal development. Preparing games and activities that promote assertiveness can lead to better understanding among children and help create more cohesive groups.
