Understanding Boundaries

Introduce the lesson by welcoming the student and outlining the importance of understanding personal boundaries for respectful interactions. Use simple language and clear examples.

What are Personal Boundaries?

Define personal boundaries clearly. Explain that personal boundaries are the invisible lines that separate each person's space. Use simple examples like a circle around oneself.

Examples of Respectful Behavior

Present examples of good behavior vs. behavior that might be seen as too invasive. Use relatable scenarios such as greeting a friend versus touching someone without permission.

Visualizing Personal Space

Visualize physical space: illustrate with simple graphics of circles or stages of distance (close, personal, social, public). Explain these as zones of personal space.

Role-Play Scenario

Introduce a role-play scenario where the student can identify what behavior is acceptable and what is not. Ask guided questions: 'What would you do in this situation?'

Summary and Next Steps

Summarize the key points of the lesson. Encourage the student to ask any questions and remind him of the importance of controlling his actions to respect others' space.
