Saying "no" to friends or adults sometimes isn't easy. Four vignettes dramatize assertiveness skills for children, emphasizing that it's never too late to change responses. The skills include: repeatedly saying "no," walking away from a situation, doing what's best for you, and changing your mind. Pauses between segments for discussion and role-play.
