This week at The Children’s House we will be talking and learning about personal space, and boundaries – it’s a really important topic for children at this age, as they sometimes have no idea that another child’s idea of personal space could be so different to their own! Some children for example love to hug/ tickle/ stand close to their peers while other children are much less tactile and these sort of things can make them feel very uncomfortable. Therefore this week we will be discussing how we should ask others before coming into their personal space, and it’s completely fine to say ‘no thank you’ to things that make you feel uncomfortable. In this way we help to create an environment that is safe and fun for everyone, from a young age!

The Boundaries Song

Please stop, I don’t like that,
I’m feeling uncomfortable,
I need more space.
Not around me, don’t take it personally,
That’s just a boundary,
That’s a boundary!
