Learning how to be assertive
Being able to communicate with others in a way that doesn't upset them, but allows you to tell them that you're not happy is important.
Activity: Think about a time when you have spoken up about something you weren't happy about. Create a 'still statue' of how you felt beforehand and then think about how your body position changed and what you said to sort the situation out.
