Boundary Setting: Social Emotional Learning (SEL)

Setting boundaries is key to determining what’s okay and what’s not okay. Setting boundaries in our relationships is important to ensure that we are treated with the respect and dignity that we deserve. It’s natural for boundaries to get crossed, but it’s up to us to determine what’s worthy of being fixed and what we need to let go of because it’s no longer serving us. Setting clear boundaries for our relationships helps us honor ourselves and our relationships.

It is necessary for children to practice this skill early and often! Learning how to set boundaries will help kids respect themselves enough to surround themselves with friends that lift them up, instead of put them down.

This product will help give students the vocabulary they need to put this skill into practice!
