To help them best communicate their ideas and needs/wants, Jen Mead joins the discussion with the Puberty Prof to share the basics of what positive/assertive communication is about.  Jen Mead is the NYS Health Teacher of the Year and focuses her teaching on skill development in the classroom setting. Concepts include choosing words carefully, ensuring positive tone is used, and demonstrating effective body language.
