Communication Vocabulary
Know and use the vocabulary of healthy communication and conflict — assertive, passive, aggressive, compromise, conflict, resolution, mediate, bystander, upstander, and peer pressure — and understand the difference between these contrasting approaches
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Communication Vocabulary means using healthy communication/conflict vocabulary and contrasting approaches. We will practise once together, then check a fresh example.”
Bring to the table
- Word cards: assertive, passive, aggressive, compromise, conflict, resolution, mediate, bystander, upstander, peer pressure
- Contrast pairs
Extra for the adult
Worked example. Assertive is clear and respectful. Aggressive hurts. An upstander helps; a bystander watches. Compromise helps resolution.
Optional challenge. For Communication Vocabulary, add bystander vs upstander.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: words matched; contrast made; support used. This session samples communication vocabulary, not mastery of conflict curricula.

Check understanding
- Use 'assertive' correctly and distinguish it from 'aggressive' — e.g. 'Being assertive means saying what I need calmly'
- Explain what 'conflict resolution' means and describe one strategy such as using 'I feel...' statements
- Use words like 'negotiate', 'boundary', and 'respect' accurately in a discussion about friendships
“If your child and a friend have a disagreement, can they describe it using words like 'conflict' or 'compromise' — and explain how assertive communication is different from aggressive or passive behaviour?”
