Haha Wendy. Yes, sometimes silence is the best communicator of all! Often my silence will allow someone else to say something they wouldn’t have if I had been blabbing! 🙂 Where do you speak?

Hi Martha, Thanks for your comments…yes, I think you might find some good suggestions to help you act more assertively when you don’t feel like doing it! It’s difficult to act contrary to your natural inclination for sure. Where did you adopt from? Ours are from Fuling and Chongyang. Love China adoption! Next Monday I’ll publish a podcast on our adoption journey in celebration of National Adoption Month. So thankful!

I would love to be more assertive and in some situations I can be. But I struggle with it in general. I’ll have to go back a read the rest of your series about this. It looks like valuable information. I found you on the 31 dayers fb page but I think I’ve run across your blog before. fellow china adoptive mom here. I’ve had to learn to be assertive for their sake, but it’s still hard.

Another pep talk I give myself when I’m in a large group (but not their teacher) is “Alright Wendy, you don’t need to communicate right now. Just because you have something to say doesn’t mean you need to say it.” Pep talks are good!

Hi Samantha, Sounds familiar! 🙂 How do you keep from falling into the aggressive category? It’s a daily thing for me.
