[Would you like to participate in the Assertiveness Training course (5 sessions) co-hosted by Puff School and Rainbow Family?]

"Ask someone for something"
"Refusal"
"Expressing my feelings"
Are there any of you who feel that you are not good at doing this?
This is the study group for you.

This event is a study session co-sponsored with Puff School.
(Anyone can participate, even if they are not a supporting member.)

……………………

Puff School holds assertive training sessions once every few years, and I've always been interested in them.
However.
"Assertive"
I thought that writing it in katakana was a little difficult to understand, so this time I'd like to try to rephrase it in a simpler way.

……………………

The word "assertive" originally meant "to be assertive."
But that doesn't mean "pushing your opinion through."
The objectives of this course are, firstly,
Become aware of your own communication habits.
And beyond that, without forgetting to respect yourself and others,
"Asking someone for something," "refusing," and "expressing your feelings"
In order to make it possible for students to do this, they actually learn the skills through role-playing and other activities.

＿＿＿＿

To jump ahead a bit, I often think that raising children is a form of human training for parents.
for example.
I want to respect my children and encourage their independence.
I'll accept my child just as he is -- that's what many parents think.
When your children are young, it feels like you can do it.
but.
As my child enters elementary school and beyond, he becomes more assertive...
In other words, once a child has developed into an individual...
Suddenly, it feels like more things are going wrong and more worries are arising.
For example, "If I don't teach him what needs to be taught, he's the one who's going to have a hard time!"
While thinking that...
But does this really show respect for children?
--Are you imposing your own ideas of what things should be like on your child?
--Are you talking to them in comparison to other kids?
--Maybe I'm just repeating what my parents told me.
I feel like I'm getting more and more confused.
In such a situation, how do you solve it?
I think that "assertive training" might be the key to this.
Some people feel pain and dissatisfaction in their relationships in general.
If so, please consider participating.
