Boundary Builders

Welcome! Introduce today’s focus: learning about personal boundaries. Explain that boundaries help us feel safe. Outline our session: definition, examples, discussion, and a fun video.

What Is a Boundary?

Explain that a boundary is like an invisible line around us. Use simple language and examples (e.g., “Your arm’s length is your personal space”).

Personal Space: Your Bubble

Use the bubble metaphor. Show your arms drawing a circle around you. Ask, “What would you put inside your bubble? Outside?”

Why Boundaries Matter

Discuss why boundaries are important: safety, respect, and communication. Encourage the student to think of times she felt good when someone respected her space.

Safe vs. Uncomfortable Examples

Use these concrete examples. Ask the student: Which feels safe? Which feels uncomfortable? Why might you feel that way?

Introduce the video. Remind the student to look for examples of boundaries being used and respected.

Your Turn: Let’s Talk!

Prompt the student to share her own experiences. Use follow-up questions: “How did that make you feel?” “What could you say next time?”
