The lesson “Developing Personal Boundaries” teaches children both verbal and non-verbal skills to express oneself and promote positive and effective interactions with others. Children learn the importance of positive exchanges with others and with God in worship and in prayer, but also the importance of allowing personal space in order to properly respect others. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 6-8 years, and is the 18th lesson in the 1st Year Core Curriculum Set and part of the “Advocacy” unit.
