Lesson Plan
Facilitator Guide Boundaries and Help
Students will articulate a clear personal boundary statement and identify at least two trusted adults to turn to when conflicts escalate or they feel unsafe.
Teaching personal boundaries and help-seeking equips 3rd graders with the confidence to assert themselves and know exactly who to ask for help, reducing risk of bullying and confusion.
