Grade 6 · SEL · Lesson 13

Healthy choices and boundaries

A boundary is the line that protects your well-being. It tells the world: this far and no further. Boundaries are not walls that keep people out — they are doors that you choose when to open. In Grade 6 the social world is bigger and faster. More group chats, more invites, more requests, more people pushing for an answer right now. Without boundaries, you spend your time, energy and feelings on whoever asks loudest. With boundaries, you spend them on the things that actually matter to you.

What this lesson teaches

1Identify the four boundary types — physical, emotional, time and digital — and give an example of each
2Distinguish healthy boundaries from unhealthy boundaries that are too rigid or too loose
3Use four respectful sentence frames to say no without disrespecting the other person
4Recognize peer pressure cues and pair each pressure situation with a healthy assertive choice
