In today’s session we discussed boundaries. What does the word mean?

With personal space it is the invisible line or limit beyond which, if people cross the line, you feel uncomfortable. It is different for different people, for different relationships and depending on your mood. Boundaries can be the boarders between countries. A boundary can be the door to your home. We discussed doors. Which doors in school do you feel ok going through? Which do you never go through? Which doors do you need to knock at and which can you go straight through? Which doors at home do you need to knock at? When do you need to be invited in? We talked about boundaries for behaviour and showing respect for boundaries set by other people. We discussed the boundaries set for children by their parents and how it feels when different parents set different boundaries. We talked about how it feels if someone else crosses a boundary set by you.
