    Self-advocacy involves being aware of one's own strengths, weaknesses, and responsibilities, and speaking up for oneself and making one's own decisions. It is a skill that students must practice advocating for themselves with teachers, such as framing questions politely, not confronting teachers in front of others, and saying thank you. Parents advocate for their children, while as adults we must advocate for ourselves and our own children.
