Boundaries are more than just limits. They come in different forms and each serves a purpose in our lives. While boundaries are often overlooked, understanding boundaries is important for building healthy relationships and self-respect.
The Types of Boundaries Poster is a visual aid that shows various types of boundaries, including physical, material, emotional, mental, verbal, sexual, and time. Each category is explained clearly with examples to help clients grasp the concept more easily.
Learning about boundaries prompts kids and teens to consider how to express their comfort levels and show respect to others. This resource can be used during daily check-ins where young people identify a boundary they set or respected that day.
Caring adults can pair this poster with our Setting Healthy Boundaries handout, or Setting Healthy Boundaries worksheets.
The Boundary Setting Statements poster provides helpful phrases that can add value to a lesson on boundaries.
