The acquisition of social skills such as assertiveness, begins in childhood and constitutes an important protective factor for emotional and behavioral problems. This article is a report of work experience for the development of assertiveness skills with students from third year of elementary school with a school in Porto Alegre. Its aim is to help children develop a better assertive repertoire and the ability to obtain an improvement in school life. Meetings were held weekly with a group of 24 children for one year; in this study only some of these will be reported. The materials worked on in class were taken from literature and reflections of the intern and the supervisor. It was observed that the working with assertiveness skills allowed reflections, self-awareness and change in behavior of students. They are suggested projects designed to promote social skills in childhood work for the prevention of future problems.
