Teaching guide, sample answers and curriculum references
Before you begin
Describe an event without blaming and recognize each person's concern.
How to use this worksheet
- Model the target skill: construct assertive, non-blaming 'I-Statements' (I feel... when... because... I need...). Use the first task as a guided example before asking for an independent response.
- Check readiness first: Describe an event without blaming and recognize each person's concern.
- Discuss an incorrect response using this distinction: An I-statement describes one's experience; it should not hide an accusation such as I feel that you are bad.
A common mistake to discuss
