WORKSHOP ON WAYS OF COMMUNICATING EFFECTIVELY AND ASSERTIVELY
Assertiveness is the ability to put forth one’s point of view convincingly, with a positive attitude. It is the behavior that helps us to communicate our needs and desires, clearly and confidently, without discounting the respect of other person involved.
As a child grows up and becomes more independent, her peers play a greater role in her life. Simply owing to the fact, that children might be spending more time with their peers than their parents, influences the way they dress and act, the things they’re involved in and the attitudes they show. They are influenced by peers because they want to fit in, be like peers they admire, do what others do or have what others have. Even though peer influence is not always bad, it is this attempt to fit in, that makes it difficult for some children to sayNO, in case the peer influence is leading them in an incorrect direction and this is where assertiveness training becomes crucial.
Keeping these factors in mind, a workshop on ways of communicating effectively and assertively was conducted by the School Counselor on 27th and 28th July, 2016 for the students of Classes VI-VIII. The workshop was designed to help the students learn different forms and styles of communication.

Further, the workshop also equipped the students with the skills to communicate their thoughts, opinions and feelings in an effective manner.
