ABSTRACT
The first goal of this lesson is to teach the concept of social dominance. We all use social dominance to help us fit into social groups. Some become outspoken, argumentative, hurtful, bossy, even aggressive. This is an extreme way of social dominance, and these behaviours are often referred to as bullying. Others develop leading behaviours that are more submissive. These are friendly, inclusive and generous patterns of behaviour. The second goal highlights how to respond to dominating behaviours – how to bring it to a close, move away, share concerns with friends or safe adults, and resist a fixation on someone who isn’t yet their best self.
