Boundaries And Rules

Worksheet Description

This “Relationship Boundaries” worksheet is an educational resource aimed at helping students understand and articulate their personal limits within various types of relationships. The worksheet emphasizes the importance of communication in setting and respecting boundaries, which are fundamental to healthy interactions. It prompts students to consider what they need in terms of personal space, touch, communication style, expressions of gratitude, and behaviors they find uncomfortable. This exercise is designed to empower students to recognize their own needs and how they can express these to others respectfully.

In its practical application, the worksheet guides students to identify their non-negotiable boundaries and rules—those that, if crossed, could be deal-breakers in a relationship. This section is critical as it encourages students to define their limits clearly and consider the consequences of these boundaries being disregarded. The act of writing down these deal-breakers helps in solidifying their understanding of personal boundaries and the importance of mutual respect. The worksheet serves not only as a tool for personal reflection but also as a starting point for discussions on consent, respect, and individual well-being in relationships.
