  4. Some questions are inappropriate and too personal.

Keywords

  • Personal - something about us that is sensitive and private

  • Information - words and numbers that mean something

  • Inappropriate - when something is not suitable or right

Common misconception

It is rude to say no to someone if they are being nice to us.

A good friend would never cross one of our boundaries. Good friends do not demand information from each other.

Encourage pupils to practice saying 'no' assertively in different scenarios. It could also be useful for pupils to reflect on their own boundaries with support.
