Recognize Personal Boundaries
Students learn to recognize personal space, identify situations that feel uncomfortable, and understand that everyone has the right to set boundaries.
Practice Speaking Up
Students practice using clear, confident words such as “No,” “Stop,” and “I need space,” while learning to respect the boundaries of others.
Ask a Trusted Adult for Help
Students identify trusted adults and learn when and how to ask for help if a boundary is crossed or a situation feels unsafe.
About Lesson 4: Setting Boundaries
Lesson 4 helps fourth-grade students understand personal boundaries and recognize when a situation feels comfortable, uncomfortable, or unsafe. Through an age-appropriate video lesson, guided discussion, and classroom activities, students practice speaking up, respecting the boundaries of others, and identifying trusted adults they can ask for help. Included materials: Facilitator guide, lesson video, and color and black-and-white boundary worksheets. This follows the template’s requirement for a short course description explaining what the lesson teaches, how students participate, and what educators receive.
