Discuss polite ways to avoid being a pushover
It warms an adult's heart to see a child being kind and considerate. But children who always let others go first or have their way need to know that their feelings matter, too. Listen carefully as your child tells you about a situation. Then, brainstorm what your child could have done or said to politely assert feelings, opinions, wants and needs. Don't confuse your child by saying, "You're too nice" or "Why are you always giving in?"
