Maria is part of an adoptive family and people are constantly asking inappropriate questions like "Where did you get her?" or "What do you know about her 'real' parents?" How can Maria respond to these boundary violating questions?
What will be an ideal response?
Maria may have to evaluate her goals, the other person, and the situation
before deciding whether to use aggressive, submissive, or assertive communication.
Answers may vary for this question, but some type of example of assertive
communication provided by the student may be the most appropriate answer. Adoption
experts suggest a three-fold strategy: 1) Informational responses, which are most
effective with people you see often 2) Humorous response to defuse difficult situations,
which may be most effective with strangers and 3) Privacy guarding responses which
correspond to assertive communication (i.e. "That's private information").
