Learning Goals:

• Notice signs when someone needs space or is uncomfortable.
• Learn what to do if you accidentally cross someone’s boundary.
• Practice apologizing and improving.

🧠 Boundaries Go Both Ways

Respecting boundaries is just as important as setting them.

🔹 If someone says “I’m not okay with that” — believe them.
🔹 If someone goes quiet or pulls away — don’t chase, check in gently.
🔹 If someone says “Please stop” — don’t take it personally, just stop.

💡 Real-Life Example:

You’re joking around and teasing a friend, but they suddenly stop laughing and go quiet.

What to do:

• “Hey, I might’ve taken that too far. Are you okay?”
• “I didn’t mean to upset you — want me to stop?”

Kindness means paying attention.
Sometimes the best friends are the ones who notice small things — and change.

🧠 If You Cross a Line…

Everyone messes up. What matters is how you respond.

Three Steps to Repair:

1. Acknowledge it: “I didn’t realize I hurt you.”
2. Take ownership: “I should’ve asked first.”
3. Offer to fix it: “I won’t do that again.”
