Once upon a time, there lived a prince named Prince 

Michael and a princess named Princess Tina.   

They both knew that one day they will be the leader of 

their village and needed to be strong and 

understanding leaders.  

However, there was one problem.   One was too nice 

and quiet and the other was mean towards others and 

did not think before she spoke.

Prince Michael was what people would describe as 

passive.   He let others make a choice for him but 

then would regret that he did not say what he 

really wanted.   He was often quiet and never gave 

his opinion.   When he did speak, he spoke softly, 

making it hard for others to hear him.  

Because of his passive personality, Prince Michael 

was not confident and others often took advantage 

of him.  

He wished that he was more confident and was 

able to tell others his opinions.    

Princess Tina on the other hand has an aggressive 

personality.   She was the opposite of her brother.  

She had no problem with speaking her mind and did 

not think before she spoke.   She would not allow 

others to speak. She really did not care what others 

had to say.   When she disagreed with others, she 

often did it in a rude way and put others down or 

used sarcasm.   People thought she was too bossy 

and did not like being around her.  

Princess Tina knew that others did not like being her 

friend and she was realizing she needed to change 

her behavior.  

One night, before Prince Michael and Princess Tina 

went to bed, a fairy jumped out of one of their fairy 

tale books.   They were surprised!

"Hello children.   My name is Fairy Mary.   I know 

that one day you two will be the leaders of your 

village and that you both want to be strong and 

respectful leaders.   You want to be assertive 

leaders," said Fairy Mary.

"Assertive?   What does that mean?" asked Prince 

Michael. 

"Assertive means that you are able to speak up for 

yourself and others in an honest and respectful way.  

You are able to say what you want or need, disagree 

in a respectful way, offer ideas or suggestions, listen 

to others ideas or opinions and say no without 

feeling guilty," said Fairy Mary.  

"When you are assertive, will people like you and 

want to be your friend?" asked Princess Tina.

"Yes!   They would respect you more as you would be 

respecting them," said Fairy Mary.  

"I know that you both wish that you were either not 

too aggressive or not too passive.   I am going to 

make your wish come true and be just right and be 

assertive.   To make your wish come true I will 

sprinkle fairy dust on you and when you wake up in 

the morning, you may feel different but will feel good 

about yourself.   You will both wake up prepared and 

ready to be good future leaders of your village!"
