The easiest way to explain aggressive and assertive is to talk about parenting.
When parenting, there are two categories that everything falls under about parenting; nurturing and admonishment.
As a parent you nurture your child in the mind, body and soul. When your child becomes willful by doing things that are not in his/her best interest we need to admonish and correct the situation so the child can get back to being nurtured correctly. For example: you wake up in the morning and see your child eating candy. When it comes time to eat a healthy breakfast your child say’s “I’m not hungry”.
As a parent you explain to your child that there will be no more eating candy first thing in the morning, making them understand that eating candy will hurt them and not allow them to grow up healthy. As a parent we try to admonish the child to get them back on the nurturing process. This is where being aggressive and assertive come into play. When correcting the problem did you correct it for the child or for what is best for you.
When we get our children to do what is best for us, it becomes aggressive. When we admonish our children because it is in their best interest, it becomes assertive.
