Let's act: role plays and assertive communication
What is assertive communication?
Assertive communication means you say what you think and need in a calm and respectful way. You do not stay quiet, and you do not shout. You use phrases like "I think...", "I feel...", "Can we...?", and you also listen to the other person.
