Assertiveness would not describe me well. I rarely lash out at anyone and more than often I feel confrontation can be avoided. The only instances I can remember within the last couple of years would be assertiveness used towards my children or about my children. I have two teenagers a girl Paige and a boy Tyler. Both wonderful kids, but they will try you because they are kids. There has been issues with chores not getting done and that takes a bit of assertiveness along with piling on of other chores.

She remembers what she hears and see and does not open the book. The only books she reads are pleasure books and she reads them all the time. From paperback to ipad she is reading a book.

I have had to fight that for a while. I realize Paige is wrong, yet she is normally right through the years we have honed her delivery of

Knowing this, I will also have to remember that when I am assertive and ask for what I want, I may not always get it. • I have to remind myself that aggressive behavior is not always based on winning.

followers; all in all, “everyone uses a portion of their day following and another portion leading” (Galie and Bopst, 2006, p. 11). I find this to be very accurate, both in relation to my Leadership Assessment Quiz and Power Orientation test results as well as my own personal stance on leadership and power.

Having the opportunity to live with G.M. for a year now has made me observe her actions, the way she thinks, feels and acts.

Ever since entering the field of Social Work, I have been exposed to many disorders, therapies, frameworks, and strategies in my studies.
