Assertive Language
Someone keeps tapping your chair in class and it's annoying you, using your assertive voice what could you say?
"Can you please stop tapping my chair? It’s distracting me." "I need you to keep your feet still so I can focus. Thanks!"
Someone in your class takes your pen off of your desk without asking, using your assertive voice what would you say?
"I need my pencil to finish my work. Can you please give it back?" "It’s okay to borrow it, but please ask me first next time."
