Friendship Boundaries
If Ms. Kate or Ms. Jessica are talking to you and asking you to check in, is this an appropriate time to start talking about your favorite video game?
No. I should wait until an appropriate time or for my 5 minutes at the end of the session.
If your mom or dad asks you to pick up your room, should you wait and do it when you want, or should you do it when they ask?
When they ask you to.
If your parents are having a conversation but you have something to ask them, how should you go about asking them that question?
What is your favorite way to cool down when you are feeling frustrated or upset?
Any healthy coping skill is great!
When a friend is talking about something that you are not interested in, should you interrupt them and change the subject?
No. Interrupting them is rude and could hurt their feelings.
When in class, if the teacher asks you to complete an assignment, is this an appropriate time to watch YouTube videos?
No. I should wait until my school assignments are completed and done.
If you see a friend at the playground but they look upset, what should you do/say to them?
If you are in class and you have something important to add that is on topic, what should you do?
Raise your hand and wait for the teacher to call on you.
Are you MORE or LESS likely to get overwhelmed if you are tired, hungry, or feeling sick?
MORE likely. Why do you think that is? What can we do to help us feel less overwhelmed?
How should we enter into a conversation that two of your friends are having?
Wait for a break and add onto the conversation they are already having.
Why is it important to follow the rules while in school?
Because it helps everyone stay on task and helps us learn more easily!
